Exeter Pollinator Gardens : 1st Monarch of the season

[Paul Lacourse]

Hi Everyone, 

Not many blooms yet in the gardens, but enough Common Milkweed to attract the first Monarch of the season. A female pitter-pattering through the Milkweed and occasionally stopping to lay an egg.  Always a treat to watch!!!!
