Swamp milkweed beetle

They look pretty similar upon first glance, definitely. I didn't even know about this beetle until about a year ago, it's amazing what sorts of creatures pop up when you start paying attention to nature.

We have the swamp milkweed beetle in the United States, up through the midwest, so it could be in Canada. If it's not that species, it certainly is a similar-looking one. It isn't a ladybug, however, so you'll want to remove it from the Lost Ladybug Mission. Still, a neat spotting, I always think these guys are interesting. You can find them around milkweed, hence their common name.
