Monarch Egg (FIRST sighted)

Date: 05/02/2012

Number: 1

The south wind not only brought our first hummer (reported to JN)but a female monarch (reported to JN) which we watched laying eggs on the tiny millkweed plants in the flower bed by our deck. The plants that had come up a couple or so weeks ago had gotten zapped by frost so she was searching for tiny sprouts 0.5-1 inches tall. 12 eggs were found. Need to check the milkweed in other areas of the yard tomorrow.
