Monarch Adult (FIRST sighted)

Date: 03/17/2015

Number: 1

It has been rainy and chilly for what seems lots of days.

We finally got couple warm days.
Have seen MALE Monarch for couple days feeding on A. Currassivica flowers.
Yes, it was clipped and already growing and blooming.

While looking a couple plants to clip them, found eggs.
Have not seen FEMALE.
NOTE: EGGS were ONTOP of LEAVES.

The best nectar flowers we have right now are the A. Currasivica. We have crape myrtles blooming. don't know if Monarchs use them.

Will be getting wetter again as more rain coming....

Have lots of aphids, lady bugs. Some of milkweed has the spider web issue and really needs clipping and throwing away. My coworker doesn't want to cut, but I told it is best thing for Monarchs. So, I will have to use this as learning experience.

Have not seen any Native milkweed yet. I may check my one location in Humble, Texas this weekend. Took me 4 years to find this spot.

I have some Ziotes native in backyard. Hopefully it will come back again this year.
