False Milkweed Bug - Lygaeus turcicus Kokomo, Howard County, Indiana, USA June 18, 2011
My garden is overrun with Large Milkweed bugs right now, since my butterfly weed is abundant and blooming. This is the only Small Milkweed bug I've seen so far, and he seems to hang out on my heliopsis more than butterfly weed, swamp milkweed, or common milkweed. Data point for Indiana in June.
