Early this morning I found my first monarch egg of the season, so it must have been laid yesterday or maybe the day before (I didn't check yesterday and actually never checked that plant before). It is usually several weeks from when I find the first egg till I see the first butterfly. Only the one, but I didn't have time to look if there are more milkweed plants elsewhere.

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. Courtesy of Monarch Watch
