Egg-sighting news! Monarch Waystation #271 reports first eggs seen on Purple Milkweed sprouts in the front yard today! Not from a diligent search, just spotted them scattered on the upper surfaces of the leaves of a few sprouts about 8 inches tall in one corner of the yard. No time to check under surfaces of leaves until tomorrow. Did not see the female that laid the eggs. Welcome back!

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.
