Yeah! I saw our first monarch at 4 p.m. today. She's brightly colored and in great condition. It's sunny and about 70 degrees. She landed in our common milkweed patch and began to lay eggs on various leaves. She flew around a bit and was chased by two red admirals, which are plentiful this year. I also found three red admiral eggs on some small pellitory plants along the fence.
