Some baby large milkweed bugs I took pictures of on September 16th 2020, in Pennsylvania! I was just going through my tumblr blog and looking for more old pictures I haven't put on iNaturalist yet :)

They came to the common milkweed in our yard there for the two(?) years since I noticed it and let it grow. I always loved watching them, I called them my babies :)

(Edit: BTW all my photos are public domain unless I specify otherwise, you are encouraged to save / share this wherever you want :) )

A photograph of a cluster of large milkweed bugs gathered on a common milkweed pod. The milkweed bugs are in various stages of growth, with some very small and other almost adult size. All are bright red and orange in color, with black heads, antenne and legs. Those closer to being adults also have small, still-forming black wings on their backs. The milkweed pod is light green and covered with soft spikes. The leaves are dark green, and there is a chainlink fence visible in the background.
