Subject: [DPLEX-L:52627] female monarch saves the day at citizen science workshop

We're putting on a workshop for adults leading citizen science research clubs with youth groups. After looking at 100's of milkweed plants and finding no eggs, we came inside to process our (very important) absence data. While we were inside, a female came by and laid 3 eggs on milkweed plants just outside the door! We're just north of the Twin Cities in Minnesota.

Hurray!
