I haven't seen any adult Monarchs yet this season but this morning I
found 19 monarch eggs at Pt. Mouillee State Game Area (Rockwood, MI 20 miles
S. of Detroit). All the eggs were found in one patch of Common Milkweed
(a.syriaca) containing about 25 plants. Three weeks ago when I checked the
same areas, I couldnt even find the milkweed through the surrounding plants.
Last year I found my first eggs of the season on May 27th, which was my
earliest ever until today.
