Summary
Scientists are tagging monarch butterflies with ultra-light, $200 radio transmitters to unlock secrets of their epic migration—tracking one butterfly over 600 miles in just two days. Volunteers at Goose Pond Sanctuary attach the tiny devices (weighing just 60mg) to butterflies weighing at least 500mg, feeding data into an app that even enthusiasts like Suzanne Otto obsess over. Project Monarch, backed by national partners, aims to protect these incredible travelers by revealing the challenges they face across thousands of miles.
