Monarch Egg (FIRST sighted)

Date: 03/19/2003

Number: 1

Many eggs on backyard milkweed this afternoon (since Monday). Best count six on one curassavica plant (year old, 12" tall), singletons on syriaca and speciosa (seedlings), none on tuberosa. With the large number of monarchs in the area yesterday and again today, we should have hatchlings this weekend. Just got a call from across the neighborhood that their backyard milkweed also had many eggs. Very large, very faded female met me in the driveway after school ... others on the way home ... netted female on sedium, smallish 50x35 mm, little fade. Southwest wind to 30 mph, clear, low humidity, pressure 29.57, lo 57, hi 82.
