Monarch Egg (FIRST sighted)

Date: 04/05/2014

Number: 1

On a field trip to the Nature Conservancy Barton Creek Preserve west of downtown Austin on Saturday (4/5), I inspected about 10 antelope horns milkweed.

I found single eggs on 5 of them. All were generally healthy multi stemmed plants.

On one small plant in the middle of a wildflower field, I found three eggs on one scrawny two stemmed plant. Maybe dumping by an older lady…..

No instars found. Minor bud damage on one plant, but no culpret.

These are the first eggs I’ve found this year.
