Lots of insects

Walking in the labyrinth this morning, there are lots of bumble bees feeding on the salvia, Bee Balm, and Purple Milkweed.  As well as a variety of other insects. 

I tried to do an image search on the yellow/black/white insect in this picture, but was unable to find anything to match.  The search engine kept trying to match the color of the milkweed flower.

So, I was able to find the red beetle on the next picture.  It is a Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, or in common language, the Red Milkweed Beetle.  This is a new one for me.
