On one of my block survey trips July 29 I observed a female monarch on a
milkweed. This was in a hay field that had been cut and the milkweed was
only about 8" high with one other about 3' away. Curiousity prompted me
to check the plant. Lo! an egg - I suspect, freshly laid! I brought it
home on the leaf. It has 'hatched!" Now to observe 'the rest of the story.'
My question - will the emerging monarch be a migrator or will there be
another generation?
