More and more people continue to spot monarchs, and with those sightings increasing, reports of eggs and larvae are on the rise.
The northernmost larva reports came from Jane in Mankato, Minnesota on May 14, and Melissa in Apple Valley, Minnesota on May 19, with photos of caterpillars just getting started in the world.
Another photo of a slightly larger one nibbling on milkweed came in from Joseph in Clinton, Iowa, near the Illinois border, on May 19.
