A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Oncopeltus fasciatus
Brightly patterned orange and black bug.
It was on a Green Milkweed Vine in my yard which has plants chosen to attract wildlife.
Adults and larvae are found on milkweeds. They feed in the seeds. Their bright colors warn potential predators of their bitter taste due to their diet.
