I am always happy when they are around. Today, I was photographing them with my zoom lens, from about 6 feet away. They didn't seem bothered by me so I tried my macro lens and was inches away. I photographed them until it got too warm, which by the way, is not supposed to happen in October.
They are on a plant called a "butterfly weed". It indeed attracts the butterflies. It indeed is a weed. It is somehow prettier in pictures than in real life. If not for these photos today, it may have had a short stay in the garden.

Great photos, Barbara!
Oh Barbara, these are wonderful. I especially love the angle of the first and the full view of the last. Fabulous job here as always!!!!
Beautiful photos, Barbara! We have a lot of them too and they like to hang around the lantanas....Christine
