I have been checking my milkweed daily for growth. It was huge last year and I cut it back hoping it would grow back. I have big new milkweed plants on my deck which I have also been checking for eggs. Today I found tiny new leaves on my milkweed from last year and about 12 eggs on the tiny new growth. No eggs on my big new plants. I have new, big plants at my school too. No eggs on them.

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.
