The other day we came across quite a few milkweed beetles and I took a lot of photos; more to follow. They certainly have impressive antennae!

Nice! If not monarchs, at least there are these beetles enjoying our milkweed patch.

Our milkweed patch is always filled with these and I’ve shot them often and I am envious of yours with the open wings. Very nice, Belinda!

They’re remarkable looking insects and quite common here.
