Monarchs left a phenomenal number of eggs in my garden this spring between March 14 and April 15. I stopped counting at 1,186 eggs. I wasn't able to collect all the eggs I found due to the sheer number of eggs and the scarcity of milkweed in the Austin area. Local nurseries reported they were getting multiple calls daily about milkweed and could not keep up with the demand. One local nursery reported people were driving from Houston (170 miles away) to buy milkweed for their cats.
