But sometimes it's better to be out on your own. These are Milkweed Bug nymphs. I shouldn't hazard a guess as to which kind of milkweed bug, but they're either the small, large, or red ones. They'll grow rapidly and winter as adults. These nymphs could be saying "We know we're cute, and toxic." (Just like gummy bears.)I'm tickled pink with our milkweed plants. This is just the third summer for ours in the backyard, but I've seen four different kinds of milkweed beetles, not to mention everything else that enjoys life around a green luxury high rise.
