Today our life science class was planting tropical milkweed in our butterfly garden, when I saw a monarch butterfly land on top of a milkweed. We went back into the classroom and watched out the window. She came back to our newly planted milkweed and started laying eggs. I went back out with a net and caught her. Wing damage 3 Wing condition 3. I felt the spermatophore in her abdomen. Then everyone in the class went back out and found eggs on their milkweed. All in one 45 minute class period!
