I was so excited to find the first eggs of the season today on the common milkweed in my yard. The plants range in size from one inch to one foot high. Though I never spotted the female Monarch, she deposited her eggs in various areas of the yard. My swamp milkweed is slow to grow in this cool spring, and I have found no eggs on those plants so far. Now, with temperatures in the 70's and 80's, hopefully I'll be finding more eggs each day. We're off to a good start!
