I found 7 eggs near the roadside where common milkweed was growing. I have found lots of eggs here last year. There were not a lot of eggs compared to the amount of Milkweed, like not on every plant but here and there.
Then I went to another site that was new to me this year but again along the road, and I found 1 more. Each of these sites are near water in a drainage ditch. The spots I checked not near water, I did not find any. I have not seen a Monarch butterfly yet but they must be around if I am finding eggs.

Editor's Note: The presence of eggs means an adult monarch has arrived in this area. Therefore, we are adding this egg report to the migration map.
