I was weeding at 9 AM this morning (May 18, 45 degrees, sunny) when I found a monarch egg on A syriaca maybe 6 inches tall. Brought it in to raise, of course. Can never resist that. Never saw the butterfly.
Actually that is what usually happens. I find the eggs before I ever see an adult.
Time to flag the milkweeds that are up in my MLMP plot and start monitoring.
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.
