First monarch seen this spring. This was definitely a monarch. I have been studying butterflies here for 20 years.

Viceroys don't show up until April. My earliest date here for a viceroy is April 5.

My early arrival date for monarchs is usually March 12. They used to arrive on March 12 regularly until recent years. So March 17 is not early.

I have milkweed in my garden. It's about three inches tall.
