Monarch Season

This year our STEM class tagged monarch butterflies in the Outdoor Learning Lab. We tagged males and females. We also grew milkweed in the OLL. To tag a butterfly you catch it. Then you take it out of the net very gently. After that, you press the tag on the back side of the wing. You have to be careful that you don’t touch the inside of the wing. Then you record all of the data.  After you complete all of those steps you have successfully tagged a butterfly.
