See the first NYBG EcoQuest -- Monarchs and Milkweeds

I just posted a photo of a Bug on a Milkweed and @fernandowagner already confirmed the id of the Bug. I also used the observation field to indicate that the Bug was visiting the Milkweed. Now that this observation is Research Grade, that interaction will soon be uploaded to GLoBI, the Global Biotic Interactions database and the plant record will be uploaded to GBIF, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

These data will be used for research and conservation to preserve biodiversity and habitats. You can help.

Great job on the insects! Let's try to find a few more Milkweed species.
