Thought I saw a Monarch in my garden four days ago (5/24) but she was moving very fast and I didn't get a really good look. Two days ago (5/26), I found the first egg on Asclepias syriaca and last night (5/27) I found another on the backside of a nearby leaf to the first egg. I have heard reports of Monarchs here in Winston-Salem and Greensboro already this year. It's outside the traditional migration times, but perhaps we're seeing a change in pattern. Will continue to monitor my 3 Waystations now. Plenty of milkweed in my gardens.
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.
