I have been checking the wild parsley for black swallowtail eggs and caterpillars (I've observed several laying eggs the past few weeks). I decided to check on a milkweed plant (I have yet to find monarch caterpillars feeding off this particular milkweed) and found one egg.

Editor's Note: The presence of eggs means an adult monarch has arrived in this area. Therefore, we are adding this egg report to the migration map.
