Summer in the South NEXT | START OVER | PREVIOUS A female Monarch, Danaus plexippus, lays an egg on a Milkweed plant. I was happy to see her, since I had planted a lot of Milkweed to attract Monarchs. This was the beginning of a butterfly-rearing project that is now two weeks old. Submit a picture.
