6 pictures in notes above and 2 text note! :D

Today I was thinking about milkweed flowers and what some of you said: that I might be able to find monarch butterfly eggs on the leaves. Well, I went to see but I didn't find any that look like monarch eggs, but I did find some other eggs! (See my third upload!) While I was looking at the flowers, I found this gorgeous skipper on a stem and also a beautiful wasp visiting the blossoms! Enjoy!
