I live in the DFW metroplex area. 2 days previously I drove 250 miles south to Houston to purchase 8 flats of 4" A. currasavica because none of the nurseries up here sell it yet. Many of them had eggs. This afternoon about 4 pm I observed a worn (not tattered) female for an hour laying eggs. She would fly around the flower beds searching for plants emerging but because of our extremely cold winter none have sprouted yet. I have 3 plants I overwintered in my garage (pretty scrawny, small leaves) that she preferred over the nursery grown 4" ones - she covered them with eggs first, then moved on to the new ones in flats.
