We saw a monarch over a week ago but didn't have any milkweed yet due to our unusually ice and snow storms in Feb. and March. We spotted our first milkweed around 4/4.

We were riding in the field today and spotted 4 different monarchs. I collect small pieces of mildweed with the eggs on them and keep them in the refrigator. As they emerge I put them in an outdoor cage that my husband built for me. When they get big enough, I share them with schools, libraries, newspaper offices, Senior Centers, and parents.
