First female monarch laying eggs of the season just stopped in my yard. Wings are slightly faded with some tattering on her wings. Laying eggs on Desert Milkwed, Asclepias subulata and nectaring on lantana occasionally. Despite the variety of milkweed, all in prolific bloom and foliage, she's favoring the A. subulata. This is very late in the season for us to see this but the past week has been cool in the 80's after a string of low 100 deg days.
