4 of us were visiting/doing a little maintenance work in the SC Botanical Garden's butterfly garden just after 12:00 p.m. yesterday afternoon, when a female monarch was spotted amidst all the flowering A. syriaca and was ovipositing. The temperature was in the high 80's and sunny. This is a very unusual time to see a monarch in our area. If we see them in the spring, which is uncommon, it is earlier when they are on their normal migration.
