We tagged 25 monarchs in the pecan orchard 30 miles SE of Midland today. This morning, about 11:00, the butterflies were too active. We netted only 2 in an hour. Frustrated and hot, we adjourned until 6:00 PM and were then able to net and tag the other 23 in half an hour.
Probably 1500 monarchs were present at sunset. Hopefully that number will increase as in years past.
