The Monarchs at our place (Cambridge, Kings Co) are late this year. We were afraid there would be no young this year. Yesterday we observed the first eggs on our milkweed. It was only a few days ago that I first saw two Monarchs flitting over our field. Up until that time we have seen one off and on since early June. As observed in previous years there is a preference for them to lay on the very young milkweed less than 30 cm tall. So far we have collected about 10 eggs to raise inside. In my travels around our area, the common milkweed is in many vacant areas and fields. It has been in flower for a couple of weeks and its very sweet scent permeates these areas. Has anyone else observed laying? Larry Bogan
