The youngsters in your life can be apart of a scientific study! In mid August to September, monarch butterflies begin to migrate to the warmer temperatures of Central Mexico. These orange and black beauties are tagged in the United States before they fly to their winter home in an effort to study migration behaviors. Tag a butterfly in the Fall and see if your butterfly is found in Mexico!! A personalized Tag Recovery Certificate with the catcher's name is proudly available! This project is appropriate for children as young as 5 or 6 if guided by an adult.
