SRX09586DxO Newly Emerged Large Milkweed Bug

It seems to still be attached to its exoskeleton. I believe this is the last of the five instars (stages) that it goes through, each one taking a week.

At first the color is very pale, but soon the black band will appear on its back and the orange will intensify.

Milkweed bugs are fascinating to study. https://bugguide.net/node/view/504
