The event was a photo opt we put together and the kids were more than willing to help. We had a number of Painted Lady & Monarch butterflies and were able to catch and tag a number of Monarchs as well. We were using a neighbor's garden as all our flowers had been depleted as food source in flight cages! Consequently, the neighbors got into the act also. It was a lovely day and the kids are still talking about it. Their parents even enjoyed it!
