Blue Red
What are these blue and red bugs on a tree outside my house?
When I was a child we had these bugs all around the outside of our house and on the house. They appeared to be living on a tree beside the house. They are about the size and shape of a cockroach, but dark blue and red. And almost every time you saw one you saw two – coupled together. I was always told they were “stink bugs.” But the only images I can find of stink bugs show green bugs.
After moving from my childhood home, I never saw these bugs again. But now almost 50 years later, I’ve moved to a house that has them on a tree next to the house. And they’re even coming into the house.
Naomi, What you are talking about is more than likely, the Box Elder Beetle or bug.. The variety we have out west however are a dark with red stripping on the wing plates. Don't know where you're at, but it may be a different blue color due to the locale of the insect. But I'm sure that it is the box elder beetle. We have them in the northwest and they inhabit the fir trees, only to fly down and crawl all over the sunniest side of the house. And they do find ways to get into the house through cracks and such. Here is a link to compare your observations with.. Hope this helps you out....
