Here are some pics of interesting-to-me bugs I'm hoping someone can help ID. The first two were on Helianthus 'Happy Days.' The caterpillar was walking across a plant marker. Hard to tell where he came from or where he was going. The red beetle was on Asclepias incarnata. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank You!
