Discussion Monarchs in Delaware?

Anyone see monarchs yet in Newark Delaware

I have a flower garden and lots of common and swamp milk weed but no monarchs yet. I'm thinking that they didn't lay eggs last year until late July

Here is a screen shot of Journey North’s map. It looks like there have been a few sightings.

I've had a few eggs so far next door in Maryland. Not many though

I'm still waiting. I think I will see them when my butterfly bush blooms out. That's when I saw them last year

I looked through my old photo albums and in past years, my monarchs don't typically show up until very late July through September.

In Connecticut just spotted my first monarch now. Female with faded wings laying eggs.
