[Report moved from Monarch Adult (FIRST sighted) to All Other Signs of Spring by Journey North, 04/11/2023; additional information contributed by observer, added by Journey North, 04/12/2023]:
I thought it was strange that I happened across the butterfly this early, which I assumed to be a Monarch. It could have been a Viceroy. The butterfly was larger and did not look like any of the other examples you provided in your email.
