Another female nectaring on swamp milkweed, she did not stay long. No eggs found. I have been releasing a few males and females into my yard. Most do not stay. Those that do, I can track them with the little red dot placed on the discal cell with a permanent marker on the left wing. One male had been patrolling for 3 days. He is chasing large swallowtails out of his territory.
