I saw my first monarch June 9th this year. Last year it was the 30th of May. I found my first eggs (2) today although I have seen evidence of munching on the leaves of a lot of the milkweed I looked at. I only found eggs on the 3" to 4" sized milkweed on little leaves less than one inch long. It is a funny year for milkweed. I have some that is about 10" to 12" high but most is in the 2 inch to 5 inch range. It is still very scarce.
