Chip Taylor needs your help for one of his students. When the monarchs start
passing through Arkansas at the end of March, see if you can catch a few and
measure the wing length for him.

Subject: Wanted - wing length measure of migrating monarchs
I have a student who is looking at the wing lengths of migratory
monarchs. We need data from samples of 50 or more monarchs from a
number of sites around the country. Since the size of the monarchs
seems to vary through the migration, we need to know when the samples
were measured. We will figure out whether it was early or late in the
migration for your location.
Thanks Chip
