Had just seen my first milkweed yesterday. This afternoon, I was mowing back by my blackberry patch where I hadn't seen any milkweed yet. Guess I wasn't as good a looker as Lady Monarch. She was finding tiny milkweed shoots buried in the blackberry patch and rapidly laying eggs in advance of a spring rain. She wasn't very large.....about the size of a Viceroy. Went back to get the camera, took some pictures of some of her eggs, but she was gone.
