I spotted this female monarch depositing her eggs on a milkweed pod. On the right is a closeup of one of her eggs. This is a first for me, I thought they only left eggs on the underside of leaves! Her eggs are camouflaged because of similar looking bumps on the pod. Smart mama!

Who needs a Choco Taco when you can have a monarch taco?

I’ve never seen a pair of monarchs mating until today. These 2 chased each other all around the yard & ended up on some milkweed. When I snuck over they took off and i got one terrible pic as they flew away. They both returned later and chilled out in the yard.

This tiger swallowtail lost one of its hindwings. Amazing how it can still fly so well without it!

One of my favorite mini-rigs as a kid. I still have that one too, but it’s got only one leg left 😫

Recent flybys in my yard … many tiger swallowtails, monarchs, and a couple (i think) red spotted admirals 😍

Spotted a big bubba monarch caterpillar in our milkweed jungle! Should be chrysalis time very soon!

[Daniel Lam @zoolamdan]

Sometimes the smallest milkweed can be hosting a monarch caterpillar. This little loner milkweed is a good 10 feet away from a big patch of mature milkweed. Lo & behold there was a little dude chomping away! 🤩

[Daniel Lam @zoolamdan]

@frogrob I should probably bring it in. The ants are ruthless & they might pick it off. I’ve put some ant baits between the milkweed that have thinned them out a bit but still …

[Daniel Lam @zoolamdan]

Found a fresh monarch egg! There was a mom cruising through the yard today & she must have made a stop. Hopefully there are more!

[Daniel Lam @zoolamdan]

One of my lupines started to bloom and I had another tiger swallowtail visit today!

[Daniel Lam @zoolamdan]

Found this little monarch caterpillar eating its way through a milkweed flower. Go go go! 😋
