Eggs in Tottenham, Ontario

Postby chanceychelsey » Sun Jul 04, 2010 7:29 pm

Just got home from the weekend and checked my plants. I have found 8 eggs on one of my plants. Did not locate anything on my many other plants but will check tomorrow when I have more time.
Tottenham is approximately 1 hr north/west of Toronto.

Update:
Monday I found 16 eggs on the few sparse plants at work (Toronto). Two of my co-workers took 3 eggs each, with instructions on how to care for them, and to find milkweed by the time they hatch. They both advised me today that they had located some. I brought the rest home. In addition to the one's I found on Sunday and the one's I just brought in from the garden tonight, I have a total of 54 with approximately 10 that have already hatched. I should be really busy in the coming week or so with them all being at the same stage. I have yet to actually see a monarch this season.

Update:
I now have over 100 caterpillars under way. Very time consuming!
