MBs of one kind or another are found on milkweeds across the U.S. and southern Canada, and they are most common in the Southeast. Unlike most insects, MBs are reported to feed on some nectar, and when food is scarce, MBs may eat other milkweed parts and live or dead invertebrates.https://uwm.edu/field-station/wp-content/uploads/sites/380/2016/12/400x400-9.jpg
