My class is very excited to report our first monarch sighting. She arrived in our garden May 10 around 8:30 on a bright,sunny morning. She lingered briefly, laying a few eggs in our small stand of milkweed before departing. We tagged her(#332 from Monarchwatch) and saw that she was in good shape.
This is only the second monarch we've seen in our school garden on its journey north since we began participating in the program last year. Most of our sightings are of butterflies heading south in August-November.
