Monarch in Westborough yard today

[Nancy E. Burke]

I saw a Monarch flying a search pattern over my rather mature milkweed in my back yard today. (7/24 about noon, 84 degrees).  As I went outside, it flew over my house.  Hopefully it saw some of the younger plants in front and oviposted.  I will check there for eggs tomorrow.  None were seen in back, though I found a couple new chew marks on smaller plants.  No larvae found.
