Spent several hours (15) since the beginning of June looking for adults returning near canal. No adults, eggs, larvae sited. Plenty of milkweed plants. I came home with a lot of ticks. Saw a few small holes in leaves and on the underside was a small red spider with a black and white round package. Don't know if these were monarch larva that met their end. Planted milkweeds in my garden this year. Checked on the 19th and there was an egg. It hatched in my basement on Jun.21. GO FIGURE. :-) Starting to build another cage for protection outdoors.

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.
