I've been hoping that some Monarchs would show up around here lately, but no luck so far. Also didn't see any this week during my trip to Houston. And yet, I found eggs and tiny new caterpillars on my DD's milkweed in Houston yesterday. If I had brought my magnifying loupe with me, I would've been able to tell if they were Monarchs or Queens before I left. I didn't see any wild milkweeds along the roads on the way or back, but maybe there were some that just weren't big enough to spot easily. There are a few wild roadside milkweeds I've noticed in my own area, but no eggs or cats found so far. I've seen a couple of Tiger Swallowtails and some Pipevine Swallowtails lately.
