On Sunday, May 2, 2010, we were working in our yard. A female Monarch butterfly appeared and began laying eggs on our milkweed, which was about 12 inches or less in height. She stayed for about two hours. After she left, we were able to collect 64 eggs, which we brought in the house and are raising them in plastic "shoe boxes". We believe this was a gift from God because we usually don't see Monarchs in our area until early to mid June.
