We have yet to see our first monarch, but they are here! My daughter & I found 37 eggs today! Some were in clusters on milkweeds less than 12 inches tall. Others were more spaced out on taller (3 ft) milkweeds. My guess is that the pretty lady was passing through, laying eggs on the way. We had two days of rain before this, so she was probably pretty loaded & looking for the nearest milkweed. (Three years ago we saw a monarch in mid may. other years have been later). It was fun hearing each other call out "Another egg!"
