I wasn't going to look, but seeing yellow jackets on the leaves
of the curassavica made me change my mind. I only looked at
one plant and it seemed every leaf of it had at least one egg.

The female monarch(s) starts at seven in the morning and goes
past seven in the evening, visiting the plants over and over.
Hot, dry, low in the morning 78 dF, high 93 dF, over ten inches
behind on rain, no more "green" viridis can be seen along roads.
