I really just don't get it! I follow this site; I know how far north the monarchs have been reported and my two sightings just don't make sense to me. Yesterday in Winnipeg, 200 km west of here, I was certain that it was a monarch that flashed across the windshield of my parked vehicle. I jumped out to follow it by sight but didn't get any better look at it. I was sure I must have been mistaken. Today at 'camp' I checked many of my dozens of milkweed plants and was able to get a reasonable macro shot of a single egg on an 8" high milkweed plant. I only have three days to follow the development of this egg or to document more, as I'm going to be in Tennessee for a week, but I will watch carefull over these three days. My concern is that there is a huge gap of empty map between the most northern reported sighting and my location in Kenora, On...
