Yes, much bigger antennae than a ladybug has. I hadn’t thought of that.

Hi Belinda
Is this a kind of ladybird?
The complementary colours make the picture especially eye catching.
Thanks for sharing

They’re both beetles but different genus. They do share attractive colouring though 😊

Milkweed is very common in Michigan, an odd plant and they can get big!

Sometimes what most people think as weed or pest or bugs, are actually quite pretty and nice things in their own way. It’s a cute bug indeed 😊👍🏻

These beetles don’t tend to harm the plant and they do have those amazing long “horns” 😊. I appreciate your comment !
