Ants trapped in Milkweed - Camponotus novaeboracensis

Ants trapped in Milkweed - Camponotus novaeboracensis
Pacific Heights Neighborhood , Saskatoon and Area, Saskatchewan, Canada
July 7, 2019
The milkweed in the back garden has been a very effective trap for ants and other bugs.

Since it blossomed I observed it killing about 20 ants, one owlet moth, and saw a leafcutter bee briefly stuck.
