Checking Erieau on the North Beach of Lake Erie since early spring. There are many patches of milkweeds where I frequently found eggs and larva in 2015. This year has been disappointing. Aug 10 was the first day I found 3 eggs in the regrowth of milkweed on the public beach. In 2015, the city let the natural vegetation grow, but this year are cutting it down repeatedly for some reason. Some areas, the milkweed did not come back. I observed that rabbits have been eating the milkweed regrowth daily, therefore, I can assume the Monarch eggs/larva as well.
