This report includes sightings from April 4 - April 7, 1998.
On April 4 we were driving at Millwood Lake (near Ashdown,
AR in Little River County) and found a flower meadow by
the lake where we counted about 40 Monarchs feeding - mostly
on dandelions. We caught three in hopes they would mate and lay eggs
on the milkweed plants we kept inside all winter - no luck so far.
We have seen several monarchs in the past several days - several were
feeding. The ones on the wing seemed to be traveling East to North
east. We have native milkweed that is beginning to come up in some
containers in our backyard so we hope to have some butterflies visit
very soon.
