Life on North Oak Ave

A few months ago, one of Ethan’s friends spotted some milkweed growing in our garden. We looked for monarch butterflies but at the time didn’t see anything. Well today I was out in the yard and I noticed a monarch butterfly near the milkweed. It was laying eggs! She laid one egg on each leaf of the milkweed plant.

We’ll keep an eye on the eggs. Hopefully some of them hatch so we can watch the caterpillars grow and turn into cocoons. I’ll try to document all the stages, stay tuned!
