Finally some Monarchs (3) have been noted on the property and there are three larvae on the Swamp Milkweed. Some eggs are also noted.

More Monarchs have been seen in recent days, and even some migration in the Toronto area. In one large flowered garden in east Toronto, there were 25 monarchs one day.                    Don Davis, Toronto
