Common Milkweed Insects

A good source to start out with for common milkweed insects. I would still like clear pictures of each organism at every stage. If you know of any, let me know!

It touches on monarchs, the milkweed tussock moth, large milkweed bugs, small milkweed bugs, red milkweed beetles, swamp milkweed leaf beetles, and Oleander aphids.

Apparently there are 26 varieties of milkweed longhorn beetles, each preferring a different species of milkweed, but the most common in Wisconsin is the red milkweed beetle and so it is described on this Wisconsin-based page. I wonder what varieties occur in PA?
