Monarch Watch ties Kansas study to butterfly tracking
Monarch Watch program assistant Jim Lovett says 500 000 tags were sent out last year as part of a nationwide monarch migration project. In 2002 a batch of 500 butterflies were tracked with the farthest traveler covering 1 400 miles from Virginia to Texas. The Turners of 2310 Meadowbrook Dr SE plan to release 16 monarchs, raised from caterpillars found on milkweed, marking their first year in the Kansas study and drawing neighborhood interest.
