for several years we have assumed that these seedpods belonged to some Morning Glory vines, the bane of our existence in our garden area:

| Honeyvine Milkweed, Ampelamus albidus |
however, we apparently have two different vines~ Bindweed/Morning Glory and Milkweed, to which this pod belongs.
also, we thought the insect was a Box Elder Bug, but it is actually the very similarly colored Milkweed Bug.
We have the milkweed vine at our house, too. An aunt is big into monarch butterflies, otherwise I would never have realized milkweed comes in a vine version. The flowers are not much to look at but smell divine.
