The monarchs in my neck of the woods have been abundant. I have not seen a spring like this in the 10 + years I have been watching for monarchs. The abundance of monarchs is more similar to what I see around the end of June than the end of May. We had a brightly colored female laying eggs in our yard this morning. At school yesterday, I showed my second graders monarch eggs that were laid that morning in one of our gardens. During science in the afternoon we watched a monarch flutter across the playground heading towards our waystation. I was in the waystation this morning and there were two monarchs in it.
