This afternoon, my class and I observed 2-3 Monarchs fluttering around our milkweed garden. These are the first adults we've seen this Spring in our classroom garden. We watched them lay eggs for a few minutes before flying off. Later, we took our magnifying glasses out to observe the plants and found 3 eggs! We're sure there must be more, but we haven't spotted them yet. There was a large lizard watching them too, acting very territorial. We'll keep a close watch out for larvae.
