Pre-register by Sept. 13th to tag a butterfly.
$7.00 fee for tagging supplies and a Monarch butterfly.
There is no cost to attend the seminar, fee is to tag and release a butterfly.

Have you ever wondered how something as delicate as a butterfly travels over 1500 miles to Mexico? Participants in this event will learn how Monarchs are tagged, registered, and released so scientists can study and protect their migration routes. They will have an opportunity to tag a butterfly, receive a certificate with tracking codes and information on University of Kansas Monarch Watch program. This hands on presentation, is a great opportunity for all ages to learn about Monarchs, their habitat, lifecycle and amazing migration.

Kathleen Ziemer of Butterfliz of Iowa has been raising butterflies and leading educational seminars since 1999 and is returning for the sixth year to lead this event.

This is a great event for children and adults.

This program will begin at 10:00 and lasts approximately one hour.
Tagging will take place from 9:30 to 10:00 then will continue after the program.
The butterfly release will follow the last tagging session.
