We went on milkweed safari to northwestern DeWitt County, about 75 miles ESE of San Antonio. We found a great deal of Asclepias asperula all over the pasture ... found monarch eggs attached, also all over the pasture. Found many doubles to the leaf, more eggs than we can ever recall this early in March ... seems a great deal of loading has taken place the past three days. After the disappointment with not finding A. viridis around Victoria this week, we were very happy with amount and concentration of asperula and the fact the monarchs had been all over the place! Did find A. viridis and A. oenotheroides along the coast in Calhoun Co. yesterday, but no eggs.
