I caught one in the act today too. Hadn't seen a monarch all summer long until today. I have been neglecting my milkweeds, and they were loaded with aphids. So I went through 4 milkweeds plants in one gallon pots, and cleaned off the aphids. The monarch laid way more eggs than the plants can support, so I had to cull some of them. But better that the ones I left will have enough to eat. They're in my cage now.

Has anyone tried to grow milkweed inside or in some type of cage to keep the aphids off?
