What are the tiny flies on this monarch caterpillar? Are they parasitic? And what are they doing to the caterpillar?

I watched the monarch get grabbed by the lowland leopard frog, which promptly spit it out. The monarch then flew off under a minute later.

Bombus crotchii recorded in separate observation. A total of 7 caterpillars on the milkweed, although I was only able to get 6 at most in a single photo.

There were so many caterpillars on my milkweed I had to go buy more. They devoured 6 milkweed plants back to the stems! So far I have found 9 chrysalis.

Ritarinkannukset (Suku Delphinium)Havainnoija

Growing on a fairly steep talus slope. Fascinating growth habit for Delphinium.
Species account for closest match here, D. antoninum - also occurring on talus slopes: https://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora/eflora_display.php?tid=22459. All the individuals we found on this talus slope had white sepals while the description in Jepson mentions blue. D. andersonii is a possibility as well: https://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora/eflora_display.php?tid=22437.

Roosting for the night. I don't see it every year here, but no doubt when conditions are right, Monarchs migrate through the eastern NM counties more than we may know. I saw good numbers flying earlier in the day elsewhere in Lea County. To be submitted to Journey North as well

Occasionally migrating Monarchs appear in Lea County. Not every year.

Dead - found lying on sandy beach in strand line. A little surprised to see this as I have not seen this species on the Chatham Islands before and I have been going out there since 1996. However, the host plant (Gomphocarpus physocarpus) is on the island in private gardens - so there is no reason why this species should not be resident on the Chatham Islands.

On a South-facing slope here. This time last year this population was still flowering, yet all 60+ plants at this location have already gone to fruit by today. Probably the sparse rain the region had in January and February. Plants on North-facing slope not yet flowering.

If "rivularis" means 'next to a river' then this is the wrong name because this was on a high bank above a road a long way from any river! Stunning plant.
