Black, grey, and red ink drawing of a humanoid girl with the wings of a box elder bug. She is seen from behind and sports red hair and black antennae.

This girl was drawn as part of Monster Girl October and Inktober in 2018.

Growing up, box elder bugs were everywhere. We called them "X Bugs" because of the distinctive red markings on their back and wings. When given the opportunity to draw a bug girl, I knew immediately what bug to choose.
