Monarch Waystation #271 reports EGG-sighting news: a female monarch ~11:40 am flying all over the backyard performing "touch and go" inspections of all milkweeds present [butterflyweed, tropical, common, and swamp milkweeds]. She was directly observed ovipositing 3 eggs total while I watered part of the back bed [two eggs on tropical milkweed, one egg on swamp milkweed] before I went back inside the house. The swamp milkweed was swaying while downwind from the actively blowing HVAC unit. This female is one tough cookie! May all the toughness genes pass on!
