I just wanted to share this little (and slightly alarming) discovery in the garden… At first glance, they look beautiful— tiny, bright red insects clustered all over a single plant. I think they might be a kind of red milkweed beetle, though I’m not entirely sure. What I am sure about is how quickly they take over. They’re notorious for devouring everything— flowers, leaves… basically whatever they land on. And the funny thing? These aren’t even milkweed plants! One moment your garden looks perfectly fine… the next, it’s covered in red. I honestly have no idea where they come from. They just seem to appear out of nowhere. Nature can be fascinating… and a little destructive too. ~ ~ ~ Next Post: Previous Post: A Spontaneous Escape to Camiguin Island
