It's official name is Boisea Trivittata - and although it carries the Boise namesake, we call them box elder bugs. This is the first time I've seen them in my backyard, so the maple tree must be playing host. Supposedly, they're not a danger to the tree, and don't squish them - they're bloody messy.
