From 8/11/16 until today, 8/15/16, I have been seeing eggs regularly. I have been placing a mesh sleeve over the plants or if it's too hot, I have removed the leaf and kept it in an airtight container until it looks like it's about to hatch and then placing back on a plant with mesh sleeve. I am completely unsure how many I've found but would estimate about 60 give or take and counting. Females seem to be taken with younger plants and usually pass up the older, larger ones. Tropical milkweed is a hit but probably isn't the best plant to keep around as it affects the migratory instincts of any monarch that sees it so I don't have much and have cut back alot already.
