Same in Minnesota. I used to band them at a nature center.

I hope they are REALLY getting their population back to where it was years ago, before the WWII chemical people

Ruined our eco- system.

Lovely photo. I've been seeing more Monarchs here in Wisconsin this year than in the last several years. Still, it's nothing like the hoards that came through 25 years ago.

How does one band a butterfly without damaging it? Aren't they quite fragile? Edited August 18, 2018 by fotografr

A small little numbered sticker. We would often hear back from Mexico. I e-mailed you a short video of the process.
