The Monarch Butterfly Crusader This page is to promote the conservation of Monarch butterflies. You receive only the smallest fraction of my posts, so please drop by and scroll.

Let's share our discoveries, photographs and joy of one of the most incredible insects on earth. Every day I scour dozens of news articles, blogs, discussion lists, pages and groups and websites to bring you the best up to date information on what is happening in the monarch world. When you like, comment, or share, facebook sends the post to more people. This is the best way to get the most number of people inspired to conserve the monarch, and the rest of the ecosystem.

Follow the monarch fall migration through the Project Monarch Science app!

This week's cooler weather and northerly winds brought lots of migratory monarchs through our area of Lawrence, Kansas. In addition to tagging some of these monarchs, we also deployed a few more radio-tagged monarch butterflies.

These butterflies can be followed in near-real time through the Project Monarch Science app, which is free to download. Tracking these butterflies' journeys helps us understand the fall migration in new ways, and we're excited to see what we'll be able to observe this season!

The Project Monarch Science app is connected with the initiative led by Cellular Tracking Technologies and Cape May Point Arts and Science Center to deploy radio-tagged monarchs and study their movement in new ways. Monarch Watch has continued participating in this collaboration and contributes radio-tagging data from our research projects to the collaborative for use in larger-scale data analyses.

We've received our first reports of monarchs roosting in Texas and Oklahoma this year!

In recent weeks, we've received many roost reports from Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas, and the latest roost map shows monarchs have moved one step closer to their overwintering sites in Mexico, though they still have plenty of distance to cover. From the location of our first roost reports in Texas, monarchs must still travel over 1,000 miles to reach the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.

Monarchs typically begin reaching their overwintering habitat in Mexico around the end of October or the beginning of November.
