Great job on the insects! Let's try to find a few more Milkweed species.
Comments
I did not know about this. I would have liked to have taken part. How can I learn about any future projects of this nature?
It's not too late!! Milkweed and Monarch observations are welcome all year long. This EcoQuest will run till the end of August though, so there are still two weeks left to join the others.

Thanks!
I've got some photos of insects on milkweeds (planted NYC-local ecotypes) in my garden. Will try to add them as observations.
