Pineneedle Milkweed

The Queen butterfly and Monarch often frequent the same plants.

I am not shure about Monarchs. The flowers attract butterflies, and it is one of the food plants for Queen (Danaus gilippus) butterfly caterpillars.

You're welcome LouisStevens, looks like the other photo of the milkweed bug gave you a hint to the ID of this plant. I can't help you with the moth ID.

Nice spotting

very fascinating! Does this attract Monarchs?

Thank you Anna for the ID,. You might be interested in this two other spottings of the same plant but with a bug.

flowers and seedpods are characteristic of Asclepias spp.
