49 eggs were found on milkweed plants growing along a railroad track in Marietta, PA. It appears that the female followed the tracks, layig along the way. A line of flowering crabapple trees also runs parallel to the tracks, and that may have attracted her initially. Judging from the size of the leaves the eggs were laid on, I am certain that they were laid the same day I found them. Most of the plants contained more than one egg. One plant had 5.
