Description
Large Milkweed Bug - Oncopeltus fasciatus
Found this one the same day/place as the Red-Shouldered Bug. It was the only one I saw all day.
You can see its long mouth-parts feeding deep in the flower.
Thanks for looking.

Amazing clarity and focus on this gorgeous macro.
Oh, I love that outfit! Why don't humans dress like this? Fantastic details and those colors simply pop. You are the master at insect macro photography and this is a marvelous example of why! There is a wealth of detail and this is--most definitely--the kind of picture to zoom in to see. Great work.
