On 4/20/97 I saw a "middle aged" female monarch in Lancaster, PA. She seemed to be searching for milkweed to oviposit on, flying low to the ground and frequently stopping to sample different plants. The milkweed is not yet out of the ground here and probably won't be for at least another week. This is the earliest I have ever seen a monarch here.
