Along the Mississippi River downtown Saint Paul. Two eggs from about 12 surrounding fresh milkweed plants about 1 1/2 feet high. Breezy day, around 70 degrees and mostly sunny. Suprised to find only two eggs, and am thinking after a thorough search that other eggs were eaten by predators, or the female chose other milkweed plants to lay on. SO GLAD THE MONARCHS ARE HERE!! I have yet to see an adult, but know others in my area are spotting them.
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.
