My sister and I were outside with the kids, and my sister yelled, "there's a monarch!" Sure enough, I looked over and saw a monarch flitting about my common and swamp milkweed, and allium that is in bloom. It flew away before I could identify if it was male or female. No eggs found yet, but I can't do an exhaustive check--raining all day again. can't believe how much rain we have been having, we are in "a little pocket" and it seems like it has been an unusualy wet spring. But the Leps seem to love it! I have had lots of red admirals, question marks, a painted lady puddling on the ground in my wildflower garden, and a Tiger swallowtail buzzing my car as I drove my kids to school.
