A lovely pair of red milkweed beetles perched on a well-chewed common milkweed leaf. Milkweed is a necessary host plant for the threatened monarch butterfly.
Not only does this plant’s flower provide food for a number of other pollinators, but it also allows funky critters like these to live their lives. Please consider planting milkweed in your yard! Photo taken in Selinsgrove, PA.
