Eggs in April—in New York!
We were amazed by Ms. McQuistion's report of an early monarch in New York. She even provided a picture to document her discovery:

"A faded female deposited eggs on the milkweed plants that are just coming up."

Assuming the monarch came from Mexico this spring, she flew more than 2,000 miles to this tiny plant where she laid her tiny eggs.
