More Monarch eggs!

Found another Monarch egg in the morning, probably from day before.

Saw a male Monarch flying around.

I also saw a bluish/dark butterfly fly through the yard quickly, couldn't identify it though. Could have been a Red Spotted Purple or some type of Swallowtail.

In the afternoon saw another female Monarch laying eggs! She let me get real close and watch, didn't have a camera with me though. She laid hers real close to the flower buds.

One of the Monarchs molted again, didn't see it happen, but saw the dead skin laying there.
