I found 12 Monarch eggs on some Common Milkweed growing in a wild field. A number of the eggs were located on the blossom buds, and the rest were on the smallest leaves at the very top of the plant. I have a lot of Common and Swamp Milkweed growing in my yard, but no sight of eggs or larvae yet. Last year I found about 50 or so eggs on the milkweed in my yard the very first weekend of May. It seems that the migration is about two weeks behind in Indianapolis.
