She's back. The female Monarch showed up again today and revisited the Topical milkweed. Nectared for a few seconds after laying eggs. Seems to be searching for more milkweed but only about 15 plants in my yard.
Lily, the male black ST has large yellow FW spot band with little if any blue on HW whereas the female has small yellow spotted FW band with considerable HW blue which mimics Pipevine ST. The images that I posted are good examples of the markings and blue color of each sex.
