Eggs: About 11:00 this morning I watched a very faded female monarch depositing eggs on small A. curassavica plants next to the house and sprouting ascu plants around the edge of the yard. It took her about fifteen minutes to make a round. When I got the camera, I must have scared her and over the fence to the NNE she went ... but there are eggs. If I could have gotten the photo I wanted I might have been able to see a bit of evidence of a remigrant ... she sure looked almost transparent with tatter when she came within five feet of me. We've had eggs this winter from overwintering monarchs but this is the first monarch I've looked at up close and will call a remigrant.
