Observed 2 female monarchs ovipositing eggs in our garden this morning. I took this picture of one egg. Again, observed a Northern Paper Wasp eating another monarch caterpillar. Monarchs have been laying eggs in our garden for the past 3 days straight. All of the egg laying has been on Tropical Milkweed. I only have one butterfly weed plant i planted from seed 2 years ago. Most of my entire garden is full of tropical milkweed.
