“…in Thysanura [Machi/anus (213)], stoneflies (64), flies (201; M. L. May, per sonal observations), and bugs (126). Boxelder bugs (Leptocoris) usually aggregate on bare insolated substrates that are warmer than the surround ings (218). On warm sunny days antHon larvae move around their pit, always remaining in shaded sectors and evidently minimizing Tb (68).…”

“…The boxelder bug occurs in the East and extends west to Montana and Alberta; its western counterpart occurs from British Columbia to Texas. Both species are similar in appearance and habitat and have little impact on host trees but are nuisances when they enter houses for overwintering (Tinker 1952;Ciesla 2011).…”

The insects that feed on reproductive structures of forest trees are not only economically important, they are fascinating examples of the ability of insects to adapt to and exploit the many niches available in forest ecosystems. Cones, fruits, seeds, nuts, catkins and pollen are rich food sources available to insect herbivores. These reproductive structures are qualitatively and quantitatively different from vegetative parts of the tree, in terms of food quality, spatial and temporal distribution, and plant protective strategies. In this chapter we will explore types of reproductive structure herbivory, nutritive value and host defenses, insect strategies and community structure, evolutionary consequences for the host, and implications for management.

“…Tinker (26) reports such an instance when during one year, as a result of cool weather, the second generation of the box elder bug was still incomplete at the end of the season. This operated as a natural control agency.…”
