  2. Wow, is this actually called A Milkweed Bug? The buds are gorgeous! Phil hates Hedge Bindweed and says it chokes everything else out. The milkweed picture is just gorgeous! It is also a great bug picture, though most bugs are iccky to me.

  16. These are gorgeous images. I am not familiar with bind weed but it has a pretty flower. The plant looks really big and I guess could just take over everything. A perfect image of the insect. Beautiful color and detail.

  18. Beautiful buds and flowers! Great photo of the bug.
    As for cats and hummingbirds - Hang the feeder up higher than the cat can jump! Do not use those that attach to a porch or deck railing. And hummingbirds fly very fast and never light on the ground - very unlikely that a cat could catch one.
    Have a wonderful weekend!
