Butterfly Tagging

Room 4 are butterfly taggers for the New Zealand Monarch Butterfly Trust!
Mrs Ryan tags the butterflies we raise with a tiny numbered sticker. She records the details on the national data base and we let the butterfly go and it flies away. We want to track how far tagged butterflies can fly and where they go! We hope that someone will see the sticker when the butterfly lands (a sighting) and report it to the Butterfly Trust. The destination details will be recorded and we can work out where it flew from! One of our tagged  butterflies has been spotted down at the end of Muritai Road!
