13 eggs on Asclepias verticillata, 4 eggs on A. syriaca, and 4 eggs on A. sullivantii. On 8/01, found a female monarch unable to fly with about 90 percent of both of her left wings missing and a hole on her upper right wing. Placed her on a 17" tall blooming A. verticillta where she nectared. On 8/2 she was missing, but there were 11 eggs on the 17" milkweed and 1 egg on each two adjacent 2" A. verticillata plants. All other milkweed plants in the bed only had 4 eggs.
