False Milkweed Bugs - Lygaeus turcicus

Well, I wish I had gotten better photos of these bugs because I rarely see this species. But, they kept evading me and clearly wanted their privacy.

Habitat: False sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides)

  Hmm, maybe it's your Monday mood? But, thanks! My main complaint is that I wish I had gotten extra angles, but they scurried off, in tandem, and dropped to the ground before I could get additional shots. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

    Maybe they got a heads-up: the touchy lady is coming. Posted 5 years ago

      I do frequent that garden often, so I can see how word would spread quickly. Hopefully they forget by spring. Posted 5 years ago
