Box-elder-bug

We intended to discuss garden variety insects in this week's Rock Garden Tour. But, as you'll hear in the podcast, we spent most of our time discussing Box Elder South Dakota instead. We talked about the town, and the bug, and whether or not the town was named after the bug, or the tree, or the creek. We also made it known that Box Elder (the town) is actually 2 words, not 1, while Boxelder (the bug) is spelled as a compound word (in some cases). It might be easier if you just listen to the podcast (see mp3 at the bottom of this post), or go here and listen to the whole show as heard last Sunday night on SDPB Radio (state wide).
