We observed a female monarch fervently flying all over our milkweed plant. She lighted on it many times. Flew away when I got too close, but stayed close and came back to light on milkweed again, as soon as I walked away. Later I went out to see if any eggs could be spotted and found one egg each on 3 leaves. yeay! Then we found presumably the mama monarch a few feet away on our sidewalk...not being able to fly very well. I put her back up on the milkweed. Not sure if that was a smart thing to do as it may bring attention to her eggs for predators.
