I went out to the garden during a break to check the milkweed, I found? TWELVE eggs!!!!!!!!!! I never saw the monarch that laid them but she must have dropped by in the last day or two, as the eggs looked very fresh (4/26/11). Milkweed is A. syriaca. The two biggest plants (still not a foot tall) didn't have any eggs on them. Only the smaller plants (probably 1-6 inches in height) had eggs.
