On July 5, I watched a monarch oviposit on A. speciosa in my pollinator garden. After she left, I collected 13 eggs. 12 hatched on July 9 and 10. The 13th never hatched. One larva was returned to the garden during its third instar due to an abnormality. The remaining eleven larvae formed chrysalids on July 25 and 26. Eleven healthy monarch butterflies, 5 females and 6 males, eclosed between Aug. 6 - 8, and were released into the garden. Photo: final monarch released. Monarch Way Station 9418
