Sunday, April 19, I had a visitor from the South. At approx. 2:15 a faded
female monarch arrived and began testing the plants in the plot.
She covered two plants with 9 eggs. On each plant there is a leaf with two
eggs 1/2 cm apart, other eggs are allotted one per leaf.
Then she found a plant emerging (it must be milkweed ... probably asclepias
tuberosa or sandvine) only 2 cm out of the ground. Because the leaves were
not yet unfurled she laid one of two eggs on the stalk.
