Lucky Friday the 13th brought a very worn female Monarch (Danaus plexippus) into the yard. She lingered for hours and laid two dozen eggs on four varieties of Milkweed: Asclepias incarnata, A. tuberosa, A. syriaca and A. curassavica. This is the first ovipositing Monarch we’ve observed in Wake County, NC, since 2009.
