Some scenes from around my garden...
Unknown moth, mimicking a bird dropping
Monarch caterpillars
Red Admiral caterpillar
Milkweed Leaf Beetle larva, the "brain bug"
Amorpha, the Indigo Tree blossom

Painted Lady leaf nest, on Echinops
American Lady leaf nests, on Pearly Everlasting
Can you tell me about the milkweed leaf larva. I used to see them on my milkweed but never knew what they were.
The adults look like big fat ladybug beetles that overwinter as either pupae or adults (adults, I think).
They come out around the same time the Milkweed really get going. They come out just before Milkweed Longhorn Beetles
Free of God
Here is a photo of an adult Milkweed Leaf Beetle
