I have continued to monitor the milkweed at the Choctaw Trails site in southwest Jackson, MS on a daily basis. Growth of the plants seems to be arrested, perhaps due to the extended dry period in March which continues. Still no Monarch sightings and no eggs or larvae in these fields, however one of my entomology students captured an adult female at Puckett, MS yesterday. This appears to be the first sighting on a monarch in Mississippi during the Journey North.
