Saw at least 7 monarchs at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson. One tagged female oviposited on A. subulata which was in early bloom at many locations of the outdoor museum. I was not successful at collecting the tagged female but observed her laying at least 7 eggs (approx. 12:10 pm - sunshine 69 - 71 degrees, w light breeze) at the base of the flowers where they were attached to the main plant stem. Ambient temp reached 79 degrees by 4 pm. Monarch tagging events are apparently a near weekly event at the museum, so the tagged female could be from a recent tagging effort.
