Welcome Monarch BUTTERFly Lovers ! Please STUDY This Website TO LEARN HOW TO SAVE THE migration !

Welcome to Craig the Butterfly Man Online Education

Craig Oveson, AKA CraigTheButterflyman.com , is a well known monarch butterfly and pollinator scientist, conservationist, and educator. At this www.CraigtheButterflyMan.com website-Ebook , we offer programs that you can be part of that will teach you how to become a monarch butterfly and pollinator conservationist. You will learn how you can help increase monarch and pollinator populations.. This website-EBook, these programs, and our educational "groups", are free of charge. Depending on how involved you want to be in our cause and movement, you may want to purchase some of the supplies we recommend you to use, although it only takes things you probably already have around your house to participate in some of our programs.

Please share this website with all of your friends on Facebook and your email list. Our monarchs need everyones help and this website will teach them how.

U S Fish and wildlife is allowing us each to raise up to 250 monarchs per year.

A) Why did U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determine that 250 monarchs or less was defined as small scale collection and rearing?

Questions and answers for monarch listing 4(D) rule

B) We considered existing research on the benefits and costs of captive-breeding, rearing, disease, citizen science, and environmental education to determine what level of captive-rearing would qualify as large-scale rearing and have the potential to negatively impact monarch populations.

C) Our analysis concluded that the overall impact of collecting, possessing, captively rearing, releasing, and selling fewer than 250 individual monarchs at one location or facility (e.g., home, botanical garden, school, or business) is not expected to negatively affect conservation and recovery efforts for the monarch butterfly. If handling greater than 250 monarchs in a given year, you will need to apply for a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

D) In some cases, state natural resource agencies and local governments have their own monarch butterfly rules and regulations. This can include prohibitions on importation and/or interstate movement, captively rearing, and releasing monarch butterflies. You may need a state permit for scientific collection or educational activities. Please check with your state-specific and local agencies for more information.

E) A permit from USDA-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is required for the importation, interstate movement, and environmental release of butterflies, including monarchs. In addition, APHIS does not allow the movement of monarchs across the Continental Divide for environmental release.

We promote American Beauties Native Plants ! If you're looking to purchase native stock plants for your garden and propagation, these are great perennial plants that can be bought at over 1000 garden centers and on Amazon.

https://craigthebutterflyman.com/raise-monarchs-1

39) It has been determined by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service that the monarch butterfly population and it's spectacular migration occurring yearly involving the United States, Canada, and Mexico is threatened and endangered. 95+% of all monarch eggs, caterpillars, and chrysalis are consumed by increasing numbers of natural and unnatural predators before they become butterflies and are able to fly away, protect themselves, and reproduce.

40) THIS WEBSITE IS DESIGNED TO BE EDUCATIONAL

PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ AND STUDY THE TEXT AND OPEN AND STUDY THE LINKS

41) YOU CAN HELP MONARCH BUTTERFLIES IN 2 WAYS;

42) 1) PLANT THE PLANTS THEY NEED TO LIVE AND THRIVE ON

43) WE TEACH YOU HOW TO PROTECT THE VULNERABLE EARLY STAGES OF THE MONARCHS DEVELOPMENT EARLY IN THE MIGRATION SEASON STARTING PROTECTING EGGS NO LATER THAN JULY 15th IF POSSIBLE SO THE NEXT GENERATION THAT NEEDS TO MIGRATE TO MEXICO DEVELOPS IN THE WILD SO THEY HAVE ALL THE TRAITS REQUIRED TO MAKE THE TRIP TO MEXICO, OVERWINTER, AND RETURN TO TEXAS TO LAY EGGS TO START THE MIGRATION ALL OVER AGAIN

44) WE SEPARATE MONARCHS FROM PREDATORS INDOORS IN A NETTED POP UP HATCHERY HABITAT ON A TABLE NEAR A WINDOW UNTIL THEY ARE ADULT BUTTERFLIES AND WE CHECK THEM FOR DISEASE, SO THEY CAN FLY AWAY FROM PREDATORS USING THIS PROTOCOL..

49) Many monarch butterfly scientists have contributed to the following research and study that shows lack of milkweed on the landscape of the monarchs summer breeding grounds is not the main reason the monarchs eastern range migration in North America is declining.

https://nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/oik.03196

50) The following is a link to an article in Entomolgy today that explains why top monarch scientists believe milkweed is not the determining factor in the monarch migration decline.

https://entomologytoday.org/2016/04/29/lack-of-milkweed-is-not-harming-monarch-butterfly-populations-new-research-suggests/

53) Below is the abstract of a study by top rated monarch butterfly scientist Dr David James and his wife Tanya supporting protecting monarch eggs until they are adult butterflies and releasing them to help increase the spectacular monarch migration

54) The study is referenced and acclaimed in the following publication

https://ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=27559

The complete study is linked here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRWl-WILi0ndaQOJOkHKcg_sDZuAhwMDRAz0YiwbezLEosgzjXCAxtKu0hRghAhEZnx1qluGywcgP07/pub?fbclid=IwAR1LZdwGqvA-klgcCVpk3X-Kjg--Oc9BBornMhTeGBdvv8irCySX6xkZzPU

55) ABSTRACT for the above study: The fall migration of Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) was studied in an unfunded citizen science project during 2012–16 by tagging 13778 reared and 875 wild Monarchs. More than a third of these Monarchs were reared by inmates of the Washington State Penitentiary (WSP) in Walla Walla, Washington. Sixty (0.41 %) tagged Monarchs were recovered from distances greater than 10 km (mean: 792.9 ± 48.0 km) with most found in California, SSW of release points. One WSP-reared Monarch was found 724 km to the SE in Utah. Monarchs tagged in Oregon flew SSE to California. No Idaho-tagged Monarchs were found in California but two were recovered at locations due south. No wild tagged Monarchs from Washington, Oregon or Idaho were recovered. Monarchs from Washington and Oregon were found during October-February at 24 coastal California overwintering sites spanning 515 km from Bolinas to Carpinteria. A single wild spring Monarch tagged in May in northern California was recovered 35 days later and 707 km ENE in Twin Falls, Idaho. This study provides compelling evidence that many Monarchs in southern and central parts of Washington and Oregon migrate south in the fall to overwintering sites along the California coast. It also provides some evidence for southerly and south-easterly vectoring of migrating Monarchs from eastern Washington and Idaho, indicating the possibility of migration to Arizona or Mexico overwintering sites. In addition to improving our understanding of Monarch migration in the PNW, this study also contributed to conservation by adding nearly 14000 butterflies to the population. The incredible involvement of incarcerated and non-incarcerated citizen scientists generated much community and media interest which in turn led to greater involvement by citizens. Increased awareness of Monarchs, their biology and conservation in the PNW has been an unexpected but important spin-off of this study.

56) THIS IS A PEER REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC STUDY AND RESEARCH DEMONSTRATING NATURAL AND UNNATURAL PREDATORS ARE THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF MONARCHS KILLING OVER 95%+ WHILE THEY ARE DEVELOPING THROUGH THEIR VULNERABLE EARLY STAGES UNTIL THEY ARE ADULTS AND CAN FLY AWAY FROM DANGER.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-50737-5

57) NATURAL MONARCH BUTTERFLY PREDATORS INCLUDING ANTS, WASPS, AND SPIDERS ARE ALSO NECESSARY IN THE WILDLIFE FOOD CHAIN.

58) THE MORE MONARCHS WE PROTECT AND RELEASE THE MORE THE ENTIRE WILDLIFE FOOD CHAIN BENEFITS

59) THE IMPORTED INVASIVE RED FIRE ANT HAS BEEN STUDIED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO AND PROVEN TO CONSUME 87% OF THE VULNERABLE EARLY DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF

MONARCH BUTTERFLIES. LEARN ABOUT THESE UNNATURAL PREDATORS HERE: https://youtu.be/R7pEAUUqmM0?si=EofO6CvLn51w_TGk

60) IMPORTED INVASIVE RED FIRE ANTS ARE PRESENT AND ACTIVE IN MOST OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, ALL OF THE SOUTHERN STATES, AND CALIFORNIA. WHEN MONARCHS RETURN FROM MEXICO IN THE SPRING AND LAY EGGS. THESE FIRE ANTS ARE PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH AND CALIFORNIA.

https://youtu.be/8DmnM_oFNx8?si=1YEgv6LJi2ydh91z

61) THESE FIRE ANTS CAN"T SURVIVE IN CLIMATES WHERE THERE ARE EXTENDED FREEZES ! THIS IS WHY WE PROTECT EGGS WHERE THERE ARE LONG PERIODS OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES.

62) WE INTERVENE AND TAKE MONARCH EGGS OUT OF THE WILDLIFE FOOD CHAIN AND PROTECT THEM FROM THESE PREDATORS INDOORS DURING THEIR EARLY VULNERABLE STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT UNTIL WE RELEASE THEM BACK INTO THE WILD AS ADULT BUTTERFLIES THAT WOULDN'T HAVE EXISTED WITHOUT OUR HELP PROTECTING THEM.

63) THE DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF "THEIR" OFFSPRING WILL DEVELOP IN THE WILD , SOME OF THEM WILL FEED THE WILDLIFE FOOD CHAIN ,AND SOME WILL BECOME ADULT BUTTERFLIES INCREASING THE MIGRATION WITH EVEN MORE BUTTERFLIES THAT WOULDN'T HAVE EXISTED WITHOUT US HELPING THEIR PREVIOUS GENERATION SURVIVE.

64) OUR EFFORTS HAVE HELPED MONARCHS CONTINUE TO MULTIPLY IN THE WILD !!!

65) There have been discussions about whether healthy monarchs, protected from predators during their vulnerable stages of development when released, have the strength and durability to migrate to Mexico to overwinter in the mountains. The following scientific research demonstrates monarchs that develop indoors have the ability to orient towards Mexico when released, able to migrate the long distances, as well as add to the migration population.
