This is a great photo to have in the database! Seriously, I think we too often try to show our best sides in our photos, and I can't blame people, but this is very educational. True story, I had an older couple come by MOSI one day and they were telling me how they had planted milkweed for the Monarchs. Then, the lady asked me, "What do the eggs look like? Do they...move?" I knew she had aphids so I took her over to our milkweed and showed her some eggs and showed her the aphids and told her how they're just a part of having the plant. But I told her how we keep them from getting too bad by either blasting them with the hose or cutting the plant back. I think this picture will definitely help people understand that with milkweed, come aphids. And they're not doing anything wrong; that's just how it is. So thanks for showing us the not so pretty side of things!
