It had been a very slow season for monarchs in my backyard. As of 2 days ago I had a total of 62 in various stages of egg, larvae and chrysalis. Yesterday I had a female waft into the milkweed garden and continue to lay eggs for 8 hours and then again for 4 more today. She never left my garden. She would go from plant to plant and stop and feed on the butterfly bush. When all was said and done we collected a total of 53 eggs she had laid. I am going to be very busy feeding this current batch but I am glad it's the generation that make the flight to Mexico.
