At three ten in the afternoon with dry, sunny conditions around 78 degrees with a wind from the SE at gusts up to 22 mph, I saw a female flying around my common and swamp milkweed, egg laying.

She didn't stay long but I got some nice video of my first monarch butterfly spotted visiting my garden, Monarch Waystation #11040 in its six year as a monarch garden.

Nectar flowers have yet to be added. There was only the 12 milkweed plants and one rose bloom on a bush to attract this small, faded female monarch in.
