My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Milkweed

Bug on milkweed

6 years ago

I bought some milkweeds for my Monarchs. These small fellows were on it as were a few aphids. Anyone know what they are? Do they get on with Monarch caterpillars? Must I remove them? They are about 3mm long.
