And, as I just looked out again, she was back laying an egg! WOOHOO! M3 really wanted to catch her and give her a hug. I had to explain to her how important it was that we don't grab her (even though we do want to give her a hug for coming to our yard). I think it might be time to go to the museum so she can learn more about why we don't grab butterflies.
Go here for the 3rd of 3 posts about Monarchs this year: (Finally - an emergence from a chrysalis)
That is magnificent!

ReplyDeleteOh Melissa, I am so jealous! I've had milkweed growing in my yard for about 4-5 years now and have never once spied a monarch. I've seen tons of milkweed beetles which I think are kind of cute, but no monarchs! I'll keep on the lookout though. One of them is bound to find my plants eventually!
