Oncopeltus fasciatus
Orange and black bug that has orange forward-pointing triangles anteriorly and orange backward-pointing triangles posteriorly, separated by a black band in the middle.
Spotted on milkweed in a wildflower garden.
These bugs accumulate toxins from milkweed, which can sicken any predators foolish enough to ignore the aposematic colors that warn of their toxicity
