A female Monarch spent well over an hour laying eggs on our milkweed plants yesterday. She would flit around the plants until she found a leaf she liked and then she would lay an egg (3 to 6 seconds) then flit off and maybe lay another couple eggs and then she would sit and rest for maybe 10 minutes and then lay more eggs. In all I think we saw 20 eggs laid?
Here's a picture of her finally eating. She did not eat at all while she was laying eggs. Very interesting and exciting!
