Well, although my wife "thinks she saw" a monarch last week, the proof is here today! At a local cemetery in Salem, MA, there is a large patch of common milkweed that I occasionally check for eggs and cats. Well this morning, I found and retrieved 15 eggs on several of the newer shoots. They are now safe and sound in my shed where we hatch and rear the cats. So, I will add this to the Eggs report as well, but figured I would save the editor the trouble of placing it here, since, where there are eggs, obviously a monarch has been.

I just saw a black swallowtail ovipositing on a couple of our dill last evening and we have cabbage white cats on the cabbages.

Waystation #2638 is open for the season!
