A couple of insects from yesterday - speedy and slow

The first couple were super speedy, buzzing around hydrangea, but kept returning to the same leaf giving me multiple shots. The beetle was the opposite...slow. Seemed to be feeding on milkweed leaves.

Thanks for the ID tinusbum!
I think the second one is a "red milkweed beetle" Tetraopes tetrophthalmus

Really appreciate your comment. I am amazed at how much beauty, the details and color in particular, there is in these small creatures the more up close you can see them.
Thanks for looking.
