A monarch arrived and laid at least a dozen eggs on common and swamp milkweed in my yard. She nectared, laid eggs, nectared again, laid eggs again...It was hot, over 40 days of 90+ heat index. But she did not lay her eggs on my swamp milkweed seedlings in the shade, or on A.s. in the shade. She laid eggs near the plants she nectared from. Even with Jayden watching over her, she continued to lay eggs right next to him. She was very red in color.
