Waystation on Maple St, Brevard, NC I found three 1st monarch instars today (June 4th). Five eggs were seen last week (Estimated 5/29) , 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.
