Saw this devil's coach horse beetle on the way home today. I've never pissed one off before, so was first time seeing this rather striking pose. I guess the mood is understandable as it might be a busy night for them. Rubbish photo since it was dark and raining.

Some baby large milkweed bugs I took pictures of on September 16th 2020, in Pennsylvania! I was just going through my tumblr blog and looking for more old pictures I haven't put on iNaturalist yet :)

They came to the common milkweed in our yard there for the two(?) years since I noticed it and let it grow. I always loved watching them, I called them my babies :)

(Edit: BTW all my photos are public domain unless I specify otherwise, you are encouraged to save / share this wherever you want :) )
