One of the park staff caught about 75 Monarch Butterflies and set up a table outside the visitor center. I went out to watch and was handed a butterfly and a tiny little sticker to put on his wing.
After recording the date, tag number, and sex, the butterfly was released.
One of mine walked around on my hand for a while before finally flying off.
I’ll be able to track my butterflies if they are ever found by going to www.monarchwatch.com
If the butterfly has a pheromone gland it is a male.
The tag is always put in the same place on the wing.
