Milkweed attracts monarchs and queen butterfly. I am 100% sure that a checkered anything will not lay eggs on it. It may nectar on it. If you do plant milkweed, please plant your local species, not seeds you find online. I walked around in the fall and collected some seeds and have them in a fridge for planting when the frost passes. There are lots of different subspecies of milkweed, and some need humidity, some need more water, etc. The ones found locally will be adapted to you micro climate.
If you live nearby, and want to help this species survive (as opposed to kill it and sell its corpse), note that its larval food plant is Penstemon neomexicanus:
From 1999 Federal Register, 72300; Centralized Library: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (http://www.fws.gov/policy/library/99fr72300.html - broken link)
The adult butterfly is often found in association with the larval foodplant, New Mexico penstemon (Penstemon neomexicanus), and adult nectar sources such as sneezeweed (Helium hoopesii).
I used to breed a lot of monarchs and painted ladies, and one good butterfly garden can really help a species. But you have to have the larval plants, not just nectar plants.
Wow. Gorgeous butterflies.
Don't plant milkweed, you will regret it if you do. It will take over your property, and your neighbors, and the next town. LOL
Will it help get rid of the neighbors behind me?
