Quite a few on this Milkweed, or what is left of it.




Also some of these on another Milkweed plant

I wonder if that image immediately above my comment here applies to Colorado? We tend to have harder winters than a lot of other places around the country, plus most of the trees native to this area were cottonwoods that grew along streambeds. The average suburban backyard tree, grass, and flower don't have a lot in common with the native fauna.
