First Monarch Egg of 2020

I haven't seen any monarch butterflies at all. Yesterday Skip saw one in the garden on a particular patch of milkweed. I went out to check for eggs this afternoon and found one.

I have retreived it, leaving it on its milkweed leaf, and have put the stem into a water reservoir. The egg will hatch right on that leaf and the little larva will eat it for the first few days.
Another monarch-raising season has begun.
