We monitor butterflies at 3 sites in Lake county, OH, since April 1 on a weekly basis (Pollard transects). At one site I saw our first Monarch on May 24. Milkweed at another site had eggs on May 25. I speculate they may have overflown us or gone around us but now we are seeing latecomers filling in the holes. This seems to be typical of the past 4 years also which is as far back as I have data. I am impressed with all of the sightings to the north of us (as of May 27th).
