She laid many eggs on the milkweeds. However, I am very concerned as the milkweeds are only a few inches above ground. If the eggs develop into larvae, there won't be enough milkweed leaves to sustain them. Has anyone else had monarchs lay eggs this early in the season and what will happen if larvae appear?

I am thrilled!!! I was able to visit the sanctuaries in March of this year. My tag was recovered a week before I was there. What a wonderful conclusion to my trip! Wouldn't it be great if everyone who tags would send in an extra 5 or 10 dollars so Chip and the staff could pay for those tags left in Mexico?
