Occasionally during the summer a climbing milkweed vine will spring up in our backyard and cover another already established plant. Though considered a problem weed, sometimes I allow it to stay around for a while because I enjoy observing the variety of native insects that are attracted by its strongly scented, tiny white flowers and sappy stems.

Beautiful collection.
Thank you!
They’re all so intricate in design, shapes and colors. How can people say there is no God?
Yes, He has quite a creative imagination!
And sometimes a great sense of humor❤️
You can look at us humans and tell that! 🙂

Good for you! By leaving it, you’ve supported many species, esp. Monarchs – yay!
This is a great compilation of insects Rebecca, and as usual, a perfect quote to go with these photos.
Thanks, Linda! It was fun to see how many I could spot on the one little plant.
