Waystation on Maple St, Brevard, NC I found three 1st monarch instars today (June 4th). Five eggs were seen last week, two missing this week. There are 80 common milkweed. Temp 26C in the shade at 3PM. All of the eggs/larvae were on plants on the outside of the owner's circular garden. In addition, I saw a few earwigs, one milkweed beetle, a few spiders and one of the plants had a mass of black aphids, but there were none on adjoining plants that I could find.
They tend to be up near the blossoms--and most of the milkweed is in bloom now.
