We have hundreds of milkweeds in our gardens and haven't been seeing monarchs until a few days ago. I've been checking for eggs and collected the first three on July 31 and one today, Aug. 1. Last year by this time we had already collected 27 eggs and 11 caterpillars - we hatch the eggs, raise the cats and release the butterfly's ourselves. Last year, we began finding eggs July 15.
