This is the egg the monarch was laying in the previous shot. I've actually looked for monarch eggs the last three summers, and while I've occasionally seen one in my photograph of a plant later, I haven't found any in the field. So I was happy to see her giving me one. I forgot just how tiny these things are, and getting it in focus handheld isn't the easiest challenge, especially with a bit of a breeze. Hopefully I can get another shot or two once the insect is showing within the egg.
