Monarch Egg (FIRST sighted)

Date: 06/27/2010

Number: 1

Hiking about a mile along a dirt road near Milanville, PA, (ca. 4:30 to 5 p.m.), I examined clumps of milkweed plants that grow in sunny patches on the road shoulder - where I found 11 monarch eggs scattered at random. We haven't yet sighted adult monarchs in this area, but in late June it's not uncommon to find eggs along this road - which follows a stream valley and seems attractive to early monarchs.
