Milkweed Patch, July 2011

Milkweed is a beautiful plant. The flowers are pretty and smell wonderful, plus you never know what you might find among the blooms.



I'm always happy to see honeybees.



A honeybee covered with pollen and coming in for a landing.



Bright yellow oleander aphids.



Big, fat, hairy tachinid fly.

Milkweed longhorn beetle, one of my favorite critters.

They play dead when startled.

Oh my....excuse me!
