The Oleander Aphids (Aphis nerii) have found the Butterfly milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa). Someone notify the Ladybug beetles please. 😀







Close view of flower head of a Butterfly milkweed with closed red flower buds. The stalks are covered with a multitude of yellow aphids. Green foliage in background.
