I found the first of the common milk weed growing along the roadside by a farmer's field. Unfortunately when I went back to check on the plants they had all been mowed down. A neighbor told me since they started mowing along that road she hasn't seen any butterflies. They just started to do the mowing since a new development was built. She said she didn't see any last year and doesn't expect to see any this year. Before that there were many different kinds that visited her garden.
