It has been years since I have found monarch eggs this early. The milkweed was barely 5 inches tall and had around 15 eggs deposited on its leaves and stem. The first larvae were visible today (05/07/06). Last year I first discovered any evidence of monarchs well into July. I've sleeved the two milkweed plants and will rear the larvae in captivity for their own safety.
