On Thursday afternoon, I saw my first monarch for this year. This is an unusually early sighting for me. The milkweed started coming up a week ago and yesterday this lightly faded female was laying eggs on the tender milkweed. I collected 41 eggs and there are more that I could not collect without destroying the plant. I am reporting from Camp Hill .... across the river from Harrisburg, PA.
