The last monarch reared this season was released ~3:30 pm here at Monarch Waystation #299, Virginia Living Museum. Temps in the 50s; let go in the sun but she did not bask, flew away. Vaya con Dios, mi amiga.
We reared 148 monarchs from 9/12/16 to today, out of which 113 were tagged and released. We released the other 35 after we ran out of tags.
Total brought in to rear was 170, above average compared to recent years; 22 of that total monarchs did not survive to be released. VLM has been informally rearing and releasing monarchs since the late 1980s; tagging since1996
