I found this bug on my butterfly weed last year just as I was bringing it in for the winter so I cut it back almost to the ground. It came back beautifully and has been doing well all summer. I have been gone for 2 weeks and left the garden in my husband's hands. When I looked at the butterfly weed it was covered with the same bugs as last year but much earlier in the year. Anyone know what this is? Sorry my camera doesn't take great closeups.
If it's not a bad bug I'll just leave there since it matches the flowers so nicely. lol.
Thank you.
