M. and F. sighted in a monarch patch in Ottawa Cnty., OH. just east of Lucas Cnty on L. Erie. Male looked very fresh, female was faded but not torn. She was seen ovipositing a single egg on one milkweed plant and attempts were made to oviposit on several other plants to no avail. Perhaps she had finished her due. This is a most reliable sighting by the head naturalist from Maumee Bay St.Pk who has a delightful 5 acres or so where she lives in Ottawa Cnty. that is all established as a natural butterfly area.
