Today I went walking around the pastures in late afternoon looking for milkweed with eggs and larvae. It was overcast, balmy, misty at times, and around 75 degrees F. I did not see any monarchs, but did find 42+ eggs and 15+ larvae (from newborn to 4th instar). There was more fresh milkweed growing as well. This is a photo of a 1st instar larva a day or two old nestled amidst the flower buds of a milkweed (Asclepias viridis).
