Are you sure they just eat plant's and seeds (in this case milkweeds). Will they harm other plants & their seedpods. I've found them on my Adenium's seedpods as well. Do they eat other bugs as well? Where I saw these guys, I didn't see any aphids that frequently congegate on the milkweed's flowers and seedpods.
