two insects

Found a large wheel bug on the deck. 
I was able to get it to crawl on a leaf, and take some closeups. 
Very cool bug.
Left it crawling all over the chocolate mint.
All the milkweed have died and I cut them back a week or so ago. Surprised to find one late monarch on the lovage- 
It must have been one of the last to feed on the milkweed, and the caterpillar made its chrysalis on the lovage or nearby.
