A monarch butterfly on butterfly weed. The butterfly weed is orange and consists of clusters of multiple tiny flowerheads. The butterfly is at the very bottom of the flowers, facing up, with its wings spread wide. It is mostly orange, with thick black around the edges. The tips of the wings have a number of small orange and white dots, while the inside of the sings have several thin black stripes going through them.

A butterflyweed (milkweed) in bloom and a leaf cutter bee visitor that I almost caught in focus (but it saw me first and bombed right on out of there!)

Common buckeye on some butterfly weed. It is facing upward. The flowers are yellow on the top and red on the bottom with some red buds mixed in. There are some blurred green leaves in the background. The butterfly's entire body is brown. The forewing is also brown, but with several markings. The tip is brown, but just a little inside is a vertical white dash. Below that are three orange diagonal spots and next to the middle one is a black spot with a light blue spot inside. To the right is a long white stripe stretching from top to bottom. To the right of that, just below the middle, is a large black eyespot, surrounded by tan and brown outlines and with a light blue spot in the middle. Below it is an orange bar and to the right of it is a tan line. To the right of all that is a thick dark brown line that runs along the white stripe at the top and goes all the way down, bending around the eyespot. Finally, at the top, between the brown line and the body are two orange bars between darker brown lines. The hindwing is partially covered. Just under the forewing a partially covered eyespot can be seen, with another visible one just a little to the right. They look the same as the one on the forewing. Below and between them are a thick orange line going across the wing, then a thin brown line, a tan line, another thin brown line, a lighter brown line, another thin brown line, and a thin tan line going across the bottom.

Like other milkweeds, Butterfly Weed is a host of Monarch Butterfly caterpillars. It can be found in fields and other open areas throughout much of the Eastern and Central North America. #butterflyweed #asclepiastuberosa #wildflowers #niagaracounty #wny
A #bee 🐝💖 enjoying the #butterflyweed just now.
Haven't seen butterflies on it yet though.😂

A single-tier raised garden bed, about 1.5 square feet, with a dozen young butterfly weed plants in a natural mulch from my yard.

They don’t call Asclepias tuberosa butterfly weed for nothing…
Black swallowtail (a male, I believe) joined me for a hike at the Kishwaukee River headwaters this morning.

The butterfly milkweed plant is virtually exploding with color and life this year. So much happier than last year (which was still pretty).

The Butterly milkweed flowers continue to stun with fiery colors. And many more buds yet to explode into blossoms.

Butterfly milkweed flowers are tiny, but so very stunning in their beauty and vibrance.

A Red Milkweed Beetle - probably getting ready to snack on my butterfly weed’s leaves. 😉🤨
Meanwhile a bumblebee🐝is gathering some pollen from my one of fragrant common milkweed plants’ blossoms.
