The first monarch egg of the season was found on my Common Milkweed at Waystation #271 at my home garden in Newport News Virginia on this date. I have not seen any monarchs yet. It has been cool lately, so I think the caterpillar is waiting until the weather warms before it peaks out!

Editor's Note: The presence of eggs means an adult monarchs has arrived in this area. Therefore, we are adding this egg report to the migration map.
