I got to see a monarch lay eggs on my milkweed!! Its the whole reason I let that thing just go and spread all over. The second pic is the "nursery" I set up for the eggs. Hoping they make it. Last year I had one egg and unfortunately the butterfly came out deformed.

Midwest USA, zone 6A. The first pic is the leaf of a milkweed with a tiny monarch egg on it.
Yup, this vine is *cynanchum laeve* sometimes called milkweed vine, although not a milkweed (asclepia). It serves similar roles as milkweed.
Just be careful not to confuse with invasive bindweed and morning glory vines
Thanks for including pic of egg
