No butterfly seen yet but...... I found my first monarch egg today, May 21st, at 1:30 pm. in our yard. Was checking the aquarium on the porch to see what might have emerged from my overwintering chrysalises and cocoons (yesterday two black swallowtails) when I decided to check a milkweed by the deck and there it was. Went out and searched the milkweed right next to the house and found 15 more.This female was very meticulous. She laid one egg per plant, one on each milkweed that was in one little patch, 12 in all in that patch.
