saving butterfly weed seed

Hi all! I have had great luck so far my first year collecting seed from my flowers (and I was sooo worried I wouldn't be able to find the seed pods!). I also found a great seed saving site to help. But I don't seem to be able to find butterfly weed on it. We have tons of bright orange butterfly weed growing wild along our roadways, but I have been told it has a long taproot and doesn't transplant well (not to mention it is against the law to move it)and so I would like to collect some seed. Where does it form, and how do I collect it?
