Monarch Butterfly

by Merrill Creek Reservoir | May 14, 2019 | Blog, Images, Insects, Merrill Creek Reservoir

September 21, 2015

We collected several 5th instar Monarch caterpillars from the meadows at Merrill Creek.

After they emerged from their chrysalis they were tagged with an adhesive tag and released to begin their epic journey to wintering sites in the mountains of Mexico.
