Searched Common Milkweed around small lake far northeast side of Indy - found 2 Monarch eggs, each on a different plant! Checked more than 30 other Common Milkweed plants in the area, but found no other eggs. Also checked several Swamp Milkweed plants along the lake; no eggs found. Found 4 clear Monarch eggs on plants farther down the lakeshore; checked them at home with magnifying glass and they appear empty.

It's been a fantastic Monarch day, having seen 3 adults (3 separate locations), and finding 14 eggs (12 @ Cumberland Park, 2 noted here); info submitted as separate sightings. Gives me hope that Monarchs are coming into the area and we'll have more opportunities to raise them before the season ends. :)!
