Milkweed Plants & Milkweed Bugs – Both Large & Small

Here is a series of images from our visit to Davidson’s Mill Pond Park showing Milkweed Bugs, both the large and small variety, on the waning Milkweed Plants. Again these are stacked or panorama images from two to four images, handheld and assembled in Photoshop. Shot with a close focusing 300mm lens.

Large Milkweed Bugs

It is the time of year to find large amounts of Large Milkweed Bugs out in the fields. They are colorful bugs, bright orange & black, usually found on old Milkweed Pods. But you can find them on other plants around the Milkweeds.
