May 28th 2017- Monarch Egg-Hunt
First reports of Monarchs being seen in our area came in almost 2 weeks ago now. They are still being seen with our Waystation seeing our first May 27th 2017. The rest of Ontario is also seeing monarchs.
With eggs being reported north of here & much further north of here, and still not finding eggs on our milkweed, we went on an egg hunt today.
Myself & a friend searched at least 1,000 Milkweed plants, mostly Common & some Swamp, for eggs. We walked about 4 kms (Robson Rd to Pulford & back) on The Monarch Trail (Leamington) searching both plantings by annual volunteers & wild milkweed. Not one egg or larvae found. Only one plant had suspicious bite marks however no larvae was located. It is still early but interesting with eggs being found north of here & no reports of eggs in Canada's far southwest.
