I observed one female monarch (the very first one I've seen this season!) flying around my backyard. She landed on my milkweed plants and after she flew away I went to take a peek and see if she had laid any eggs. I found a total of four eggs and three tiny caterpillars-two just hatched and one a day or two old. I brought them inside and will supply them with milkweed and watch them until they transform. I am interested in tagging them.
