Number: 38

I have reported the same female ( slight damage to wing) ovipositing eggs on my common milkweed, swamp milkweed and butterfly weed for three weeks now. I would estimate over 200 eggs laid while I have watched her over several weeks ovipositing. Counted 38 eggs today on leaves and common milkweed seed pods. Predation has been terrible so I have taken in about a dozen eggs to rear them. Found 1 small 2nd instar larva on one leaf and I am rearing that as well.
