Indianapolis, Indiana
By Marty Davis
It's quite unusual for us to see returning migrants,
or to have eggs this early, or to have this many eggs in May!
In
the past 10 days I've found 197 eggs and very little milkweed
to sustain them. In fact, had I not gathered all those eggs and
distributed them to others with milkweed growing indoors, they
would have all starved. |
This
plant was about 4 inches tall and had 17 eggs on it. I think
you can only see about four here, but there were 17!!
This
was the only nectar around!
