Red Milkweed Beetle

Red Milkweed Beetle
The red milkweed beetle is another insect found on the milkweed at this time of year.  I was reading on Wikipedia the other day that its antenna bisects its eye.  I wanted to capture an image showing this phenomenon.

I don't understand how the beetle can have very good vision with the antenna obstructing its view.  It probably just sees motion.
