A beautiful photo....a very interesting photo....pretty colors....a remarkable photo....a very vibrant photo, full of life and energy....
Nice shot! You have the species name correct, but the common name for these bugs is “Milkweed Bug” not “Milkweed Beetle”. They do look similar to beetles, but are not actually beetles. Hope this helps!
