Witnessed female laying eggs on A.tuberosa in my yard at end of August. We collected 6 eggs to raise for the first time. It was a wonderful experience! We successfully released 5 monarchs this week with 1 to go. The chrysalis is turning black. It is ready to be released tomorrow, unless there is rain.
Interesting note, my caterpillars preferred Asclepias incarnata to Asclepias tuberosa when I had both available! One has more tender leaves. I had 3 females and 2 males and the males were larger.
