A female monarch has been hanging around our yard for 6 days; I think it's the same one that was doing a pas de deux with a male on the 20th. I've found 44 eggs so far in 6 days (including 21 today), in our backyard and a neighbors yard/lawn. Mostly on climbing milkweed - very small plants are preferred. One 1-inch plant has 3 eggs, and one larger plant has 8. Took inside 20, which is about as many as I can handle; but she isn't done yet! Also found 9 eggs on common milkweed in the "mow zone" of a nearby park; took inside 7. The first ones have already hatached (laid on the 21st, hatched the 25th).
