Monarch Tagging Workshop with OSFN

Advertisement

How is it that monarch butterflies migrate 4,000 km to a place they’ve never been before? Why do we still need Citizen Scientists to assist in a North American monarch tagging initiative? How can they fly with a tiny “license plate” stuck to one wing? And how can you help monarchs in our Bruce Grey area? These questions and your questions will be addressed in the afternoon tagging workshop. We hope to net and tag migrating monarchs as part of Monarch Watch Citizen Science research, so wear your running shoes and bring your insect nets (some will be provided).
