Every day this week so far;
Monarchs
Cabbage Whites
Some small brown butterfly or daytime moth that the bluejays chase and eat

Question about the Monarch cycle; I have noticed that the CT State Dept. has been better about leaving the milkweed growing on the side of the highways during the spring/summer. However earlier in October they did a comprehensive mowing and cleaned it all up.
Do the Monarchs lay eggs on their migration from north to south? Eggs that might overwinter on the milkweed plants and emerge in the spring?
Or maybe they do not and this is ok for the State to mow down the milkweed.

Thanks.
