While home for lunch this afternoon, April 7, I saw the first Monarch fly through my yard. If they are looking to oviposit, I have a bit of common milkweed poking out of the ground, but it is still a little too early for orange butterfly weed to be up. Yesterday I saw another Common Checkered Skipper, my second of the year, as I walked home from work. Bill Haley Chattanooga, TN Hamilton County
