Yesterday (April 5) we had sightings of three adults on the wing while we were checking milkweeds for eggs. I did not see any oviposition activity and found no more eggs on the 60 plants we are monitoring. Milkweed density is 1.37 plants per sq. meter in the approximately 3 acre stand we are working.

Several females were ovipositing this afternoon (April 6) in our study area; they are flying slowly over the meadow with occasional stops in an area with lots of milkweed plants. Today's weather = hot, windy.
