Jul 22, 2020 19:45 | #4383 Very interesting and kind of funny, in that last photo with the ladybug larva pigging out on the aphids! Looks a bit stressful for the plant. Canon R5 and R7, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100, Pentax Spotmatic F

They were everywhere, covering the tops of 6 or 7 milkweeds. So that is a larva of a ladybug? Thanks for the ID. Do the aphids grow up to something else or have they reached their full potential?

Archibald wrote in post #19097576 I should be more careful, because I'm not sure it is a ladybug larva. I guess they are aphis nerii, commonly known (surprise!) as milkweed aphids.

I just now realized that the larva is eating away & the other aphids are not bothered at all. I guess now I understand why I was able to man handle the plant roughly & not spook them.
