This Giant Root Borer (Prionus spp.) was about 1 1/2 inches long. Some are as much as 3 inches long! Adults are active in late summer.

And, on a milkweed, an insect that I tentatively identified as the larval stage of a Bee Assassin (Appiomerus spp.) feasts on a Milkweed Tussock Moth caterpillar. After sucking out juices the bug will discard the caterpillar's husk.
