Just a couple of my milkweed plants have appeared so far, but yesterday we found one egg on the front yard plant. I search for eggs all summer and put them in a protected enclosure and we release them after the butterflies emerge and wings dry. I have been collecting eggs for six years now and I have taught my grandchildren and their friends how to search for and protect the eggs. A wonderful and important task!

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.
