My grandchildren & I spotted a fresh-looking monarch hovering around our butterfly weed (asclepias tuberosa) which was about 18" high with flower buds tightly closed. And closer inspection revealed 6-8 eggs! We are monitoring the development and have observed 3-4 caterpillars already emerged by 6/2/06. We are watching them with the aid of a Digiscope-marvelous.
