Multiple eggs confirmed. Both butterflies bright; non-layer especially so; may have been just out of chrysalis, judging from rests on non-milkweed plants. Milkweed primary bloomer now, with some pentas and Texas lantana. One 2 cm larva also seen.
Until 1/14/00, also had at least 6 large larvae @ residence 6 mi. E of Refuge; by then had formed 4 chrysalids (that I found).
