As I left San Antonio on Mar.31, driving north on 281, I saw a few 4-6 in. milkweeds along the roadside, but didn't stop to search for eggs.
At last, after weeks of looking and waiting, I not only found the milkweed, but also one egg downriver from Marble Falls! The milkweed is only 2-4 in. in height and could be found only by getting out to walk though one of my normal search locales, one of the same places I was looking a week earlier and saw a lone migrating adult but NO milkweed. The caterpillar hatched on Mon., Apr. 5 and was busily eating a leaf the last time I checked on it! Ahhhh, at last, spring has NOW arrived for me!!!
Now to continue the search nearer home!
