June 27th was my first sighting of an adult monarch - and eggs - in my yard in Chesterton, Indiana. I observed an adult laying eggs June 27 and July 10. I have been seeing caterpillars in various stages since July 4th.

The larva count on July 21st: 2 tiny; one 1/2 inch; one 1 1/2 inches. Found on 4 different common milkweed plants in our garden with 27 common milkweeds and 3 butterfly weeds. Every larva was on a common milkweed. I did not check every leaf or even every plant today (7/21/14).
