Monarch Egg (FIRST sighted)

Date: 07/05/2013

Number: 1

Monarchs missed our yard this spring. While others in the area have seen adults prior to this, this is the first observation for our urban yard. Saw a female nectaring and ovipositing. Collected numerous eggs from tropical milkweed and some from upper leaves of common milkweed. Anticipating high predation from invertebrates I collected them to raise. Eliminates a tachinid study of this group.
