First monarch butterfly sighting in the afternoon. Observed female butterfly flying through the garden for over 15 min. She made 5+ circuits through the garden and laid a single egg on common milkweed plants. All plants in the garden were less than 12" tall, most about 6-8" tall. Butterfly rested several minutes on a plant before flying off to the neighbor's yard. Butterfly did not appear to lay eggs on the swamp milkweed plants in the garden.
