The tagging season has just begun for us. Based on the number of cats I currently have, I expect to be approximately 10-15 tags short this year. Is anyone able to help me out?

Thanks

Let their wings dry for a good 24 hours before you tag. If you net wild monarchs, then you can go ahead and tag them. When I used to do that, I wore camo clothing because the fall migrating monarchs are a lot more skitish.

They're going fast, but there's still time to order more tags! :cheesy:

If you would like to participate in monarch tagging this fall, please place your order for tags as soon as possible so that you don’t miss out.

Monarch Watch Tagging Kits are only shipped to areas east of the Rocky Mountains.

As usual, each tagging kit includes a set of specially manufactured monarch butterfly tags (you specify quantity), a datasheet, tagging instructions, and additional monarch / migration information. Standard Tagging Kits for the 2009 season start at only $15 and include your choice of 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, or 500 tags. Sets of 20 Mini Tagging Kits (5 tags each) are available for $40 - for Nature Center programs, etc. that would like to distribute a small number of tags to participants.

Monarch Watch Tagging Kits and other materials (don’t forget to pick up a butterfly net!) are available via the Monarch Watch Shop online at

Happy Tagging!

Thanks Jim

I wasn't sure if there were any left. The listing says they ship within 15-20 days. That would be too late as these guys should be ready to go in approximately 14 days. Any chance it would be shipped sooner?

Thanks,
Sharon

Everything I've ordered from the shop has arrived very quickly. I'm willing to bet you have time. =)

That fulfillment time is not accurate - wish we could change it but it is an unwelcome "feature" of the shop software.

If you place an order today, you should receive the tags within a week or so via USPS. If you need them sooner, drop me a line and we can work out a special order outside of the shop with expedited shipping and/or handling.

Hi Jim,

I ordered them on Friday, regular mail. If they are here within a week to 10 days, I should be good. The bulk of my guys will be ready to go within the next 10 days, and I have enough tags for them. I have the 10-15 that are lagging behind and if my new order is here within the 10 days or so, I should be good.

Thanks,
Sharon
