My daughter and I were having lunch on the deck on May 16, when she spotted a monarch making a quick pass across the garden from barely sprouted butterflyweed toward the spot where my swamp milkweed grows. There is only one tiny plant so far this year. I did not observeany egg-laying activity and found no eggs later. I wonder if this was one of the butterflies we hatched last summer?

There been several tiger swallowtails fly-bys(5/22,11), but so far no more monarchs.
