Spotted three eggs on the underside of leaves in a small common milkweed patch near a neighborhood road. I brought the eggs inside, and one of them has hatched while two still have not. On 7/1/2020 I spotted multiple more newly hatched 1st instar caterpillars in the garden, which I imagine were from the same batch of eggs as the original three eggs. The image attached is of one of the unhatched eggs taken 7/1. It may be infested with Trichogramma wasps, because there are black spots all over the egg, instead of just black near the top of the egg.
