I'm so excited! I saw my first monarch of the year yesterday. It was beautiful with bright wings. It flew though my yard but did not land on anything. I was unable to tell if it was a male or female. I tried to follow it but was unable to spot it again the rest of the day. We have common and swamp milkweed growing in a field behind our house plus I have tropical milkweed growing in my yard. No signs of eggs yet. It was sunny and the temperature was over 80 degrees. Can't wait for little cats!
