It's been a very strange spring, here, in the Chicago area. Still haven't seen an adult Monarch, but finally on May 29th, with temps in the 80's we found 28 eggs in our Milkweed patch in Villa Park. None since then. The week before, we had our last frost(!), and the week before that, it was in the 60's and 70's, with temps falling into the 40's at night... .

Last year, our first Monarch was spotted on May 10th. We had many more eggs following that.
