A Walk in Warwick Park.....

So on my Sunday journey to find milk weed I stopped at a a park on the way home. I did a little research this weekend and I figured since they are holding a butterfly tagging class there they are bound to have milk weed growing there. So I once I got there I took a walk threw the meadow.

So after walking for only a few minutes, I found it.

I searched and searched for eggs. I honestly wasn't to sure exactly what I was looking for. After a few minutes I thought I finally found one. So I clipped it off a small piece of the leave and took it home to put in a jar.

After researching I found out that if it is an egg it should have a black dot on it which would be the caterpillar head. So it seems as if I am on the right track. The research also stated it could take any where from 7-20 days for the egg to hatch.At this point it could hatch any time because I am uncertain as to when it was laid.
