Monarch Tagging at Sunfish Lake Park
September 6 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Free
Monarch tagging has been happening since 1992, to not only to determine where monarchs that overwinter in Mexico came from, but also the timing and pace of their migration, mortality during migration, and any changes in the distribution of monarch butterflies.
This is our first time tagging monarchs at the SMINC, and we are looking for help catching butterflies!
