You can see two stages of the nymphs and a couple adults.

Milkweed bugs are not harmful to cultivated gardens. Unless you're cultivating milkweeds!

I should have broken that one twig of the milkweed plant off before I took the picture. Oh well.

I have these guys in my yard. I have Climbing Milkweed that I cant kill. Just keeps getting bigger. Shit climbs up power poles even.

Did you see any Monarch butterfly cocoons? Years ago, you couldn't walk into a field of Milkweed without seeing hundreds of them.

No cocoons. I did see a few of the caterpillars. I expect the cocoons will be showing up soon. Only one monarch butterfly, but he flew away before I could get a picture.

There used to be thousands and thousands of monarch butterflies everywhere. Even in Brooklyn, NY back in the 60s.

How do you tell a kid these days that the late summer skies used to be filled with orange butterflies? They won't believe you.
