Not a good shot, I know; I'm uploading it for reference only. I looked for an egg this summer, hoping to be able to take a shot with the Raynox. While I did see eggs in two shots I took of other things (!), I never saw one in the field and will have to wait for another summer. (Unfortunately they are usually laid on the bottom of leaves, and milkweed leaves are filled with toxic latex and I avoid touching them. That makes it tricky to look for eggs, and eggs are tiny and in short supply. So it's a measure of "luck" to find one, though it's easier, as here, when the milkweed is in your own backyard and you're looking at it every day for insects and other interesting finds.)
