yes @nativeplantlover... what @DavidLMO said ... LOL

Technically it is about 10 days or so too early , but I have 100 tags this year just received 5 days ago . Mine were ordered almost 4 weeks ago and since I am going to release another 30 or so in the next 10 days I decided to start early mostly because I want to know if any of the females I'm seeing at my home now are NEW wild or returning captive . I had originally thought I would rear 100 the whole season and consider that a miracle ... and it still may be just that . But I am gearing up if I can , to fill all my tags before the end of September . I had a minor setback the last 2 days and lost 10 2nd to 4th instar cats to a smelly nasty NPV attack . Thankfully it was limited to only one rearing tray which has been scrubbed clean and disinfected with a 5% bleach solution .

Unless you live in Canada it is early to be tagging for most of the US. Tags ordered take 2 -3 weeks to be delivered. Only tags issued by MonarchWatch are sought in Mexico.
