I have 20 caterpillars forming chrysalis and new batch of babies or I assume Stage I. I hope I can get a kit to do some tagging for next year. I use to send caterpillars to school with my kids. I take them to work each fall for our patients to watch them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-80533023003324180312007-08-31T13:18:00.000-05:002007-08-31T13:18:00.000-05:00It's so much fun to find other bloggers who are ta...It's so much fun to find other bloggers who are tagging Monarchs. We live on three acres covered with milkweed, goldenrod and clover, and find monarch caterpillars regularly. My kids and I are tagging them as a homeschooling project. We've released six monarchs so far (five tagged), and have seven chrysalises and four caterpillars as of today.

I know that my data will be sent in to the Monarch Watch people, so they must keep a database of the tags they send out to people. Stay tuned....<BR/><BR/>Hi Ruth,<BR/>I think what I read as if you're just holding the butterfly and not wiggling your fingers or the wings around, very few of the scales will come off. I try not to let them squirm too much--you might notice on the picture I've let them grab my fingertips with their feet and that seems to help keep them from trying to get away when they have something to hold on to.<BR/>I'm excited about the bluebirds. I think this is probably the latest I've ever had them nest.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Tom. It's not alot, but at least it's something.<BR/><BR/>Hi Jayne,<BR/>It was a pretty great day and I was thankful to be able to enjoy it.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-10586018156382675572007-08-17T05:50:00.000-05:002007-08-17T05:50:00.000-05:00How exciting Ruthie!!!

That's pretty interesting stuff about the monarchs and their tags. What do people do when they find a tagged monarch? Do they report this to someone? I've never seen a tagged monarch, now I'll really be watching, I know I'll call you, and you can tell me what to do hmmmmm.<BR/>MOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
