Above is a Small Milkweed Bug (Lygaeus kalmii)
looking at a wallflower. Usually these insects are found on--milkweed (below). It is a funny thing, but the majority of insects which hang around milkweed tend to be orange. One interesting exception is the monarch caterpillar which is striped in black, light green, white and pale yellow; it is not until it matures that it becomes a very orange butterfly.
