Egg-loading in Oklahoma
"I am seeing more Monarchs this spring than ever before. I have over 200+ eggs collected from tiny sprouts in my backyard. And the Monarch females are continuing to oviposit. I am finding leaves with multiple eggs. One tiny sprout of A incarnata has 21 eggs on it. This is crazy!! Went out searching for wild milkweed and found very little. It's early, and we are experiencing drought conditions. I'm hoping I can feed the larvae as they hatch." Sandra Schwinn, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
