Dear Western Monarch Friends,
Monarchs entered Utah for the first time this week and laid eggs as they continued their journey to summer breeding grounds. Southern California continues to report monarchs laying eggs and larvae filling milkweed in the region. New and fresh monarchs are beginning to appear, a harbinger of the new generation.
Moving Northward
May is here. The leading edge of migration is slightly behind where it was at this same point last year. At this time of the season, monarchs from overwintering populations fade away and we await the next generation and a surge in observations. Be ready to report!
