Milkweed beetle on #milkweed

@gjones Aren’t they pretty? I have so many of them around and they’re all blooming. These bugs aren’t harmful to the plants.

Milkweed seeds

Beautiful capture 🤍

Monarch eggs and caterpillars everywhere!

Thanks @cyndi, there’s a #monarch #caterpillar on a leaf in the background, too! 💚

Two new milkweed plants to accommodate all of the monarchs we get 💚

Two monarch caterpillars and a leopard frog

Wow! I see what you mean about the camouflage...wouldn't have seen him if you didn't mention the #leopardfrog.

Beautiful photo 🐛🐸🐛

Thank you @novicegardenlover @kez001uk @cyndi! It was a great scene to happen upon!

Great shot

There are 3 monarch caterpillars on my milkweed right now ❤️🥰

Great shot....🐛

My Tropical Milkweed plants are still regularly blooming. They are really thriving here beside the pond. 🧡

Milkweed is still blooming 💚

Buds and aphids on my tropical #milkweed. #9a #Florida

More blooms on the Tropical Milkweed. It’s still in a nursery pot! Must get it in a bigger container soon. #milkweed #pollinators #Florida

So pretty Laney! You have a pond? Lucky!

Yeah Scott, it’s right in my backyard and this is where I saw the gator just recently. This pond is the main reason why there is so much wildlife around me. It’s a big swampy forested wetland here. Oh so Florida! It attracts a lot of visitors and I keep my camera handy to snap a shot of them whenever I can. 😊💚 @scottz

So awesome 😍😍😍! I want one!!! @laneygarden

Just one ravenous little #ladybug baby took care of all of this quite quickly. #milkweed #aphids #9a #Florida

Wow great flowers and fantastic ladybug 🐞

Amazing color 🌈

Lucky you! I couldn't find a ladybug in my yard last year and constantly battled these darn bugs! Welcome to Gardentags. Scrolling thru your pictures, you have a beautiful space and lovely plants.

@lesliecole49 Thank you! I bought a package of ladybugs and was ready to release on this but then it was all gone the next day, and I saw just one ladybug larvae in the plant! I couldn’t believe one baby bug took all of these out!! 🐞😊😊🥰

Lovely 👌

Wow, awesome
