They have arrive very late this year..... but at least they're here now!!
On our 40th Anniversary (7/13), we found three eggs on the milkweed... but still never saw an adult flying in the garden... but yesterday (7/14) I spotted this little lady sipping on the butterfly bush.... she went over to the milkweed for a minute, then left.... I took so many shots of her....
then I spotted another female.... very worn.... but she left me 3 more eggs.... I now have 6!!! I will post her later....
Now the fun begins!!!
PLEASE PLANT MILKWEED... THEY NEED OUR HELP TO SURVIVE!!!!!

This is the female that I spotted leaving me eggs.... she looks a little worn, but that didn't stop her.... I'm hoping they come back today and leave me many gifts!!
Last year at this time, I had 30 eggs.... I know they had a late start, but I hope they make up for it...
Their numbers have declined with all the pesticides being used...
