This Should Be Interesting!

I am going to watch a Monarch butterfly cycle.

This bowl is too small, but that is all I had for today.  I will look for something larger in the next day or two.

After lunch I met my sister-in-law, who does this every year in her classroom at a local Christian school.  This year she is my teacher as well.

We started by looking for eggs under milkweed leaves.  I found one milkweed with four or five eggs.  This photo shows two.  The one in the center is a good idea of what you should look for, as the egg is shaped like a small football.

Two eggs and a caterpillar

I am anxious to watch this amazing cycle.
