On Thursday we were very fortunate to have Zac Cota, an Americorps volunteer with North Branch Nature Center who joins us each week for ECO, visit our classroom to help us tag some of our butterflies.  Each tiny sticker tag has a 3 letter and 3 number identification.  Connected to this ID is information about where the butterfly was tagged, whether it was caught in the wild or raised from a caterpillar and then released, and whether it is male or female (males have small black dots on their lower wings).  Today we tagged 2 females and 1 male.  If they are found by researchers in Mexico Zac will be notified and let us know!
