This one was on a Mexican Milkweed seed pod that had fallen off. I was unable to spot any other bugs on the pod, but it was 50 degrees.

Hi Trois! Those are the Large Milkweed bugs:

They are after the seedpods not the cats.

Thanks, fly_girl. I looked carefully all over and this seemed to be the only one.
