Rhopalidae maybe? I don't know, that's from a random google image search for orange beetle  --------------------------- You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline.

After lots of exploring on bugguide that Garret suggested, I withdraw my earlier statment and think it looks more like a small milkweed bug. http://bugguide.net/node/view/460 Or after more looking, perhaps the large milkweed bug. Patterns look a little closer, and it says the nymphs are orange, where as the nymphs for the small milkweed are more redish. http://bugguide.net/node/view/504 --------------------------- You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline.

Also (yes, I have way too much time on my hands), the second picture appears to be aphids and unrelated to your first batch. Tiny wasp lays eggs on (in?) aphids - BugGuide.Net Interestingly, according to whoever took that picture also found them on milkweed, so they may commonly cohabit the plants. (Extrapolation on my part with that.) And yes, more searching since I have nothing to do at work.

I appreciate the help and from what I can tell with the information you all provided they are the milkweed bugs and aphids. Thanks garret for the link i'll be using it from now on. --------------------------- “ Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." – Henri Cartier-Bresson |
