Female monarch was laying eggs on swamp milkweed plants in my garden. Plants were no longer blooming and located in shade garden next to house. I watched female for about 30 mins as she fluttered around the garden/other flowers but always coming back to same set of plants to ovipod. I was not able to look for any eggs that day but the next day I found 2 eggs on the plants where I had seen her lay eggs. I was surprised to only find 2 eggs but several leaves had already been eating by tussock moth caterpillars so maybe some eggs had been eaten?
