It is indeed an unusual year for Monarchs! I have 3 or 4 healthy milkweed plants in my backyard, and have been finding a lot of eggs: 20 so far. I'm finding them on the milkweed next door, also (at their request). I have been monitoring the growth of milkweed, arrival of migrants and the first eggs of the season for years. I can't remember finding so many eggs this early. It's wonderful!
