Uh, one male and one female. ;)

Large Milkweed Bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus).

I thought I’d posted this kind of bug before, but those were Small Milkweed Bugs: [ 2022 ] [ 2012 ].

An 11-frame day:
    • 3 of a Silver-spotted Skipper
    • 2 of a Fiery Skipper
    • 3 of an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail with both tails intact, but posted that type yesterday
    • 1 of coneflowers to direct a question to a master gardener
    • 1 of three missing puzzle pieces that turned up!
    • This one.
Not a great day photographically.
