I have never seen so many eggs in our Monarch Waystation! I went out to squish aphids from our plants and within 60 minutes of being out there, I saw 4 females laying eggs. I decided that I should collect the eggs for now and leave the aphids. There were so many eggs I couldn't collect them all.

As an aside, I was very surprised to find that the newly laid egg was fastened to the leaf so securely it didn't fall off when I ran a stream of H2O over it to remove surrounding aphids.
