Just made this meme to express my frustration at Boxelder bugs. No matter how many times I carry them out they find a way back in my house in Spring and Fall.
Note because I guess some folks need it: I don’t kill them, I pick them up and put them back outside!
Hot take: These guys never bothered me. I know some people are strongly bothered and annoyed by Boxelder bugs but they don’t annoy me.
Same here. I think they’re kinda cute tbh. They are just a very mild inconvenience in the house just because I gotta go find a piece of paper for it to crawl on and put it outside, lol.
They’re only cute until they give you that nasty heart disease that makes your heart fall apart slowly…
They give you a nasty disease that makes your heart fall apart. I hope you like being dead dumbass, your love of gross bugs will be the death of you!
I have no idea where you got this idea but it’s wrong.

Are you perhaps thinking of kissing bugs???
They are the same bug!
No they’re not lol

That seems like horse shit
Interesting argument, mind backing it up with a source?

These are not the same bug
They don’t look much different to me…
Not the same bug
They ARE the same!
They aren’t. Boxelder is different than kissing bug
Weirdly I just learned all about boxelders the other day when one appeared on my desk. There’s a Reddit thread really similar to this one with people trying to explain that boxelders aren’t the same bug lol
Whatever you say bud. I’m not taking any chances with that shitty heart disease. I choose life, thank you very much.
Read the link you posted and look at the name of the bug. The page has both the scientific and common name. Now look up boxelders and see if it matches
