WooHoo and a first for me and BooHoo too

Ok - so the woohoo was a first for me. I actually saw a monarch(s) laying eggs. Super special for me cause I have never seen this before! And neat this season cause up til today, I had not seen any eggs.

But BooHoo too. Crying

I checked carefully where I watched the Monarch lay eggs and found an egg. Ran in to tell my wife. By the time I got back - just a couple of minutes - something had pierced and ate the contents of the egg. Sighing!

BUT ... The Monarch(s) kept coming back to this area of Tropical MW and laid eggs on several plants. AND one laid some eggs on MW in one of my other areas. Tomorrow I will check leaves and see how many eggs I might find.
