| Tagged Monarch Butterfly Cal Poly Monarch Alert Project |
There are several research programs devoted to the monarch butterfly, and if you are crazy for monarchs then you might like to become a tagger too to help out with this research.
Don't panic, you don't have to tag every butterfly that emerges to take part; just tag the ones you can.
When I reported this butterfly I got an email from Jean, the woman who had tagged and released it. She is an avidly crazy-for-monarchs person like me who gardens for butterflies in Rancho Santa Margarita here in Orange County, California. I went over and visited her and her garden and helped her tag some butterflies. It was great to know that us crazy-for-monarch people are not alone in this world.
Here are two links if you wish to get involved in tagging monarch butterflies that emerge from your butterfly garden.
