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.

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.
