Monarch Waystation #271 reports seeing a faded dull female monarch nectaring on front yard tropical milkweeds. At 10:20 am I saw it lay an egg on another tropical milkweed [potted on the patio] among lots of aphids. It spent time "making the rounds" to assess plants, laying eggs and nectaring for the next 10 minutes. It favored nectaring on the front butterflyweed. By the time a tiny shower came in at 11 am, this female was seen in the backyard nectaring on butterflyweed, and it laid an egg on swamp milkweed.
