  5. Milkweed and Visitors — These vibrant milkweed flowers are attracting a busy group of insects. The flowers, likely *Asclepias* species, are a vital food source for pollinators and a crucial host plant for monarch butterfly larvae. The insects appear to be bracket fungi.

  6. Oleander aphids (Aphis nerii) on a swamp milkweed seedpod that has been chewed open, I think, by a monarch butterfly larva. Almost all aphid species adopt a headstand posture (facing ground) when feeding. Interesting. #aphids #milkweed #hemiptera #insects #entomology #asclepias

  11. Another food source for many insects in its native range, say hello to tuberosa! Its flowers are typically orange, but some cultivars skew closer to yellow.
