About a week ago, I noticed that the Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) here was about knee-high, which usually means we'll start seeing significant numbers of Monarchs soon. Walking in a 50-acre restored prairie that's part of the Univ. of Wisconsin Arboretum this afternoon, I saw several adult female butterflies, so I started turning over milkweed leaves hoping to spot eggs. I found two eggs on one plant and one on another!
