I found two eggs and each had been laid on separate 4 inch-tall milkweed plants. Monarchs clearly like tender plants for egg laying. These were growing on the mowed part of our field in an area that hadn't been mowed in about two weeks. We won't mow the area now before inspecting all other plants! Ironically we've left large areas of the field unmowed to provide milkweed but have not found eggs there.
