Today between 2 and 3 pm I observed a female monarch in good condition laying eggs in my home garden, Monarch Waystation #271.
She laid eggs on Swamp milkweed [Asclepias incarnata] in my back yard on the south side of the house, then moved to the north side and laid eggs on common milkweed [A. syriaca] and butterfly weed [A. tuberosa] on the north side of the house. She then flew north. This is my first sighting of an adult for the season and also my first eggs!
