1 large older dark colored female was laying eggs on the seed pods of my common milkweed all afternoon. She must have laid at least 100 or more eggs. The eggs were laid on top of and between the bristles on each pod. A very small number were laid on the leaves. I have never observed this ovipositing behavior before.
Temp: 92F, sunny and humid.
