This is a group of Large milkweed bugs - Oncopeltus fasciatus. There are adults and nymphs in various stages of developement. It's no surprise that the favorite food of the large milkweed bug is the seeds and tissue of the milkweed plant Asclepias.

I took this in May with my son's macro lens. I get my new lens on Tuesday ( if it is delivered on time). The tiny intricate parts flowers is so fascinating and so different one to another --it is a never ending subject.

There is a different quality to light when smoke covers the sun. It is more yellow that what we are used to and it does influence the photographs we take during such times. Here is a few shots I took one smoky day in summer...
