Aniya and Alexandra were checking out the pollinator garden during recess. It was a warm 75 degrees with a steady NW wind. The girls check the plants daily, even though the milkweed is very dry and yellow and covered with aphid mummies. The girls ran up to me, grinning from ear to ear, each carrying a milkweed leaf. In unison, both girl proudly exclaims, "We found monarch eggs!" And they had!

We don't usually find eggs this late in September in southern NJ. Here's hoping they become adults before it is too cold and too late to migrate!
