Arrangement in Yellow and Black

A cute little band of bugs hanging out on some end-of-the-season milkweed. Love the colors.
Didn't find an exact match for these fellows- Banded Net-wing???? The book says the feed on the juices of plants- which it looks like they're doing here, but ????? just not sold on it. Great shot though! The detail is wonderful.

@olivetreeann You are a wonder! Thanks for the research. Are you sure you aren't a librarian?.

@allie912 Actually Allison at one point I was going to study to be a librarian. I was working at a public library and applied to Rutger's Library School, was accepted and even received a scholarship from the New Jersey Library Association. But at 7 mos. pregnant, it was a daunting task to think of driving to the school for classes. I was huge! and uncomfortable and not as confindent in myself as I am today. So at first I put it on hold, and then let it go altogether. However, I did get to be a librarian for a little while years later when my sons were attending a fledgling Christian school in Paterson, NJ. They needed a librarian and I needed a tuition break. It was a lot of fun and thanks to some great networking, I built the library from about 200 books to over 800. I cataloged them all, wrote most of the cards out by hand (unless the donated books came with their cards) and had story hours for the younger kids. I loved it! I eventually did go back to school- but for a Masters in Divinity. So that's just a nutshell of my life story- a paragraph in an adventure that I'm still trying to figure out the next step of!

@sarasdadandmom Naw, that's what milkweed pods look like before they burst open and their fluff floats away.
