Tagging Monarchs

Dan is right - it's that time of year to tag monarchs. I was at the Butterfly Garden yesterday just to see if there was more activity. It was kind of quiet. A viceroy had me excited for awhile. One female monarch came by to lay eggs and I didn't really want to bother her by putting a tag on. I half-heartedly tried to catch her and missed. Maybe another day.

It's getting late for monarch eggs. In the life cycle, eggs can take 3-5 days to hatch. The larva stage takes 9-14 days and the pupa stage takes 8-15 days. Winter is coming - better hurry!!
