Counted 9 and probably more eggs on my wild milkweed plants!!! There were none earlier in the week and then all of a sudden there was an abundance. Have yet to see a single Monarch. It almost seems like a "dumping" of eggs as there are some leaves that have 4 eggs on them. Very exciting but I am anxious to see the first Monarch on the wing. I will collect a few leaves to bring into class this week so that my students can see how small they are and watch for the baby cats! Such excitement.

Editor's Note: The presence of eggs means an adult monarch has arrived in this area. Therefore, we are adding this egg report to the migration map.
