First spring butterflies?
In Central VA, I usually see Cabbage Whites and Sulphurs around mid-March. There's about another month to wait!

Am in south FL, and saw a monarch yesterday and one the day before! Couldn't believe it, since we are having such unseasonably cold weather. :)

Monarchs can withstand a little cooler temps than some other butterflies. When they're in Mexico for the winter, sometimes it can get fairly cold there.

I live in weatern Il. We usally see our 1st butterflies mid April. The earliest ones are cabbage whites, Red Admirals,and silver spotted skippers. Some times I've seen a tiger swallowtail early. This year I hope they'll be back earlier. I have seen the 1st 3 I mentioed but it rains so much. We'll get a couple of nice days then it's cold again. Ah spring in beautiful Il This is a Red Admeral on Pink Thrift..

How do you know when they're laying eggs? I'm new to the more intimate observation of b/flies and other beneficial insects for the garden.... Any information or thoughts would be appreciated!
