Notes
One of the seed pods that are forming was a nursery of milkweed beetles in various sizes. They were all over the pods. Plenty of honey bees and bumblebee and a few hover flies. There were wasps and butterflies flying around but they did not land on the milkweed, they were flying around or on other plants in the patch.
