I plant milkweed to attract Monarchs and found only ONE egg this July. I brought it inside and sheltered it. It is now in the chrysalis stage and should emerge in a week or less. I had only one egg last year as well. The previous two summers, I sheltered and released over 30 Monarchs, so I am painfully aware of the diminishing numbers. This milkweed in my area was more plentiful this year than last, but still very few Monarchs.
