| Large Milkweed Bugs |
These bugs are found on the Milkweed plant during much of the season. They are still numerous as fall approaches. My first thought was that "mom" and "dad" had babies. When I got home to the computer with this image, I noticed a white "insect" next to the adults. I went through my guides and could not find it. I happened across it as I looked up the scientific name on Wikipedia. It is the exoskeleton of the light colored adult next to it. That light colored adult molted before I arrived to photograph them. This molting, crawling out of their skin, occurs several times during the season. The last time it happens, as in this case, an adult emerges.
