Monarchs have arrived

For a while, I was starting to think they weren’t going to show, but my youngest spotted this one flirting with the milkweed that I gushed about a few weeks ago. It hung around long enough for me to get a picture of her. They only lay a few eggs on each plant, so if I’m really lucky, I’ll have a caterpillar in a few weeks. And I’d have to be really lucky, because I only have the one big plant and a few others nearby. They usually choose to lay their eggs on mass plantings of milkweed.

I’ll let you know . . .
