I am rearing one of many eggs that I was honored to witness the Lady Monarch lay on Tues. 7/28/15. This is my first in over 20 years since I did this for my children. Day 1- laid, days 2 no visible change, day 3 - egg had black tip develop at about 70 hours after laying, day 4 - egg hatched, day 5 - caterpillar actively consuming milkweed, length approximately 3/16 inch. Sorry my camera will not focus on this small of an object. Will post photos as soon as focusable length is reached.
