Here in Sioux Falls, SD we found 9 new eggs on Aug. 17th in our milkweed patch... plants are healthy... and are feeding caterpillars and hatching chrysalis' in our aquarium. Seeing a few large monarchs in yard when temps warm up.

We had a lull in seeing monarchs and in finding eggs in mid July - Hottest on record, very little precipitation and lots of S wind ... thinking monarchs blew farther north for that time period. Have had some rains recently and asters and sedums are healthy and starting to bloom, so getting excited for the peak migration within 2 weeks - tagging sheets are ready !!!
