Butterfly Research

Today we finally finished our Monarch data sheet for Project Monarch Health http://www.monarchparasites.org/.  Below are the pictures of the info we are mailing in and we can't wait to see what our research shows about our local population:

We sampled 28 butterflies since May, not bad for a pair of rookies. 

Stay tuned for our next post in which we will share the changes we have made in our garden and process to accommodate the local butterfly population.

Some of you have expressed interest in creating a butterfly garden.  Though we are not experts, Isabel and I would be more than happy to help you get your garden started.  You can also let us know if you want to be notified when butterflies are either going into or coming out of their chrysalides.  Happy nature explorations to all!
