The Box Elder Bug
Here are some basic facts and science on the boxy.

--Coloration-- The box elder bug is a beautiful insect with surprising markings and colors. Its most commonly thought of as "Black Night sheared with Fire Streak" however, the colors of the boxy are not just contained to black and orange, The orange can be red, yellow, orange (of course), or any shade mixed between these colors. Occasionally, a pinkish-orange appears on the boxy's shell. Orange and red are the most common marking colors. Full body color is actually not all black. Black, is actually a rarer full body shade than some other full colors. Smoky grey (a speckly dark grey) is very common as the whole body color, and is often thought to be black. This is because how dark it is. Other colors are, grey, fading black, and pink (found in albinos and hooded). Although the colors of the boxy do not extend wildly far, the markings make up for it. In my opinion, I think of such dogs as the rottweiler, or the black lab. All the dogs in that breed are the same coloration, yet these breeds are wildly popular. The markings of the box elder bug, have been specially named to special noting and research done on the markings. Because of this, a thorough explanation has been given for each marking.
