I saw one yesterday crawling across my window. I leave them alone for the most part as they are harmless, but they do form into somewhat of a pesky herd late in the fall. It's fairly disconcerting to see them migrate across your desk or to pick up your teacup to find a boxelder bug floating in it. I still don't have the heart to kill most of them. : ) Yeah, we get those at the Foothills Lab too in the fall and winter. I saw one yesterday crawling across my window.

I'm glad they aren't as cute as lady beetles, otherwise I'd feel guilty for trying to wipe them out.
