Was shocked to see a female laying eggs on sprouts of common milkweed this afternoon. I counted about 14 eggs and have placed mesh sleeves over them to try to prevent predators from taking the egg. I'm now scrambling to ask friends and other conservationists for milkweed! I have never seen a monarch here this early.. hoping it isn't a commercially raised monarch from a release event.
