I also live in Pennsylvania and I was seeing them all summer outside of my apartment building and have never seen them before that. That makes me think they're not native to the area.

The box elder is a native species. Been here forever. See them all the time. Like to hang out on warm walls this time of year.

I never saw them before this summer. I see and smell plenty of stink bugs, like right at this moment, lol, but never the box elders.

And all the ones I've seen were on the sidewalk in front of my apartment building, otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed them.
