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. 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. I verified both eggs I saw oviposited but did not search for more.
