Darn if the clouds moved in just as I was thinking that this was going to be a great day, with temperatures moving up and winds low. However, I went to a park in the east end of Toronto and found some eggs, but no adults.

SO...headed to Cranberry Marsh area east of Toronto at Whitby on the north shore of Lake Ontario, and LO AND BEHOLD! ADULTS! Females had moderately faded/worn wings, but the one male I saw appeared as if it had just emerged from the chrysalis!. Also found more eggs! The sun came out between the clouds, and just as I was leaving, another adult.

Checked the milkweed further east at Cobourg. Heavier clouds brought in cooler temperatures. No eggs or adults found.
