Need Extra Tags ...

Postby donnap27 » Tue Sep 02, 2008 7:46 pm

does anyone have extra tags they aren't going to use ?
last year i ordered too many and returned the ones i didn't use. ... this year i ordered too few ... :(
if anyone has extras, i'd love to use them to tag my remaining butterflies
thanks,Donna

Last year I had so many Monarchs I couldn't believe it, so far this year I have only tagged reared butterflies. Our weather in CT has been cool and wet maybe it is delaying the migration. If you still need tags let me know.

hey, thanks, that would be great ...
i still have 5 that could possibly come out of their crysallis ok. i seem to have had some trouble with that last step this year. it's been a tough one in Michigan too.
so, i could use 5 if you would be willing to send them:

we can hope for a better year next year, but know that we've helped a little at least.

I will send you 5 tags on Monday. This was my first time rearing cats, I have released about 20 so far (I kind of lost count) and I have 11 still to go. Luckily all but one made it full circle. I hope your last 5 do well.
Good luck

I live in Ontario and have 50 extra tags for anyone in the southern U.S. Send me a PM with an address and I will send them ASAP.
The migration is done here.

Sorry, thought Southwestern Ontario movement was over. It is not. Managed to use extra tags and could use more.

Monarchs continue to move through Southwestern Ontario.

We still have tags available and fulfillment is NOT the 10 to 15 business days as the product page indicates - we typically mail tagging kits out within 2-3 business days (so you should have them within a week or so).

Get them here while they last: http://shop.monarchwatch.org/product.aspx?p=121239

Thank you for your support! :D
