On Sunday we had 1 Monarch at a site near the Kentville pool, and 1 more at=
 a site I check down on West Main.  It has a fair bit of Milkweed.

On Monday (yesterday), we observed two adults near the DNR building on Exhi=
bition Street.  One was a female, which we observed ovipositing.  We also t=
ook photos of one larva on a plant, which I believe was in the fourth insta=
r.

Hello Larry,

While not in NS, I found it interesting that there were four different repo=
rts of Monarchs from New Brunswick on the NatureNB listserv yesterday: one =
each from Grand Manan, St. Martins, Moncton and Memramcook.
