Monarch in the backyard milkweed patch. She would fly from leaf to another, lay a few, then leave the yard, returned several times, repeated. (And returned the following day). I would inspect after she pinned her tail to a leaf, but often there was not an egg left behind. I spotted four eggs, but she moved through the patch where I could not access, she may have laid a dozen. Choosing different plant each time, preferred the smaller upper leaves,3 were laid on the underside, one egg on the top side. She was very distracted by the flower pods which are the size of a nickel.
