Monarch Egg Sighted

Date: 08/24/2015

Number: 7

Something I haven't noticed before, in 10 years of finding eggs: I watched a female flitting about my common MW patch. Later, I went to collect her eggs. I found seven. She was consistent in where she laid them: 1 per plant (I know that's normal), and on each plant, she picked a big leaf pointing to the west, on the left-hand (north) half of the leaf, about 1 inch from the stem. She laid them in mid-afternoon (2-3 pm), so the sun was at her back.
