Found 13 eggs today in our garden - little treasures! 10 were found on very young Common Milkweed plants (most were plants less than 6 inches tall, small but tender leaves); 3 were found on Texas Milkweed plants. Amazing that the female found some of the Common Milkweed plants, as they were sprouting up among other taller plants. With approx. 200 aging Common Milkweed plants on the property, it was obvious she was seeking young plants - no eggs found on the older plants.
All eggs were brought in for rearing; will try to check other milkweed in the local area tomorrow to see if there are more eggs.
