Watched monarch in my garden at about 12:30 p.m. She did not lay eggs on my common milkweed shoots, but on the butterfly weed that is about the same height! I've collected 7 eggs to share with my class at school. This is the earliest I've found any and I'm thrilled! If successful, we'll release adults prior to school's end (June 28th here in Ontario, Canada).

The female is still in the garden and is now laying eggs on the milkweed. I managed to take several photos, but tried to stay out of her way. She's very determined!
