I was going to post this into Daily Butterflies, but I saw this thread and felt like it might fit in well here.

I was out poking around in my garden, and a large, old Monarch was fluttering by.
What really gives me laugh is that she can find a 2" tall milkweed plant, and lay eggs on it.

I really don't want the eggs on the plant yet, as the small plant that is just now coming out of dormancy is too small, and I'd like the plant to grow up much larger before it vanishes by the cats.
