At noon a female monarch flew into our backyard and was cruising around our milkweed patch. She landed on a few of them and also went to a butterfly bush for nectar. She was observed for about 15 minutes. When she left, I checked for any eggs and found 2 laid close together on the flower buds of a common milkweed. I brought them in to raise. I have been raising monarchs since 2013 and have successfully raised 146. Hoping this year will be a comeback year for our beautiful monarchs.
