Craig the Butterfly Man

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 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.

Restoring the monarch butterfly migration and other pollinator populations would be as easy as banning the use of most pesticides and herbicides like glyphosate that's found in Round Up and other brands. Our government administration has the power to ban them with the stroke of a pen without Congress involvement. Our landscapes will start to recover as soon as the use of these products is banned. Of course, we would have a more healthy food supply and many more monarchs and pollinators to enjoy.

Our current United States administration has the ability to ban these products with the stroke of a pen . The new administration has made it clear they would ban these chemicals that are unsafe for us and our wildlife. Please watch the video here to find out more:

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.

51) The Grandfather Of Monarch Butterfly Conservation, Educator, and Scientist Dr. Lincoln Brower (SEARCH: Lincoln Brower on WIKI) talks about how he wants citizens to raise up to 100 monarchs a year for conservation and education. Click Here: https://texasbutterflyranch.com/2015/02/16/q-a-dr-lincoln-brower-talks-ethics-endangered-species-milkweed-and-monarchs

52) Dr Lincoln Brower, the Xerces Sociey, Center for Food Safety, and Center for Biological Diversity Petitioned the U S Fish And Wildlife Service to modify the original petition to list the monarch butterfly as threatened by asking that households should raise up to 100 monarchs for conservation and education . The link to that petition modification request is here https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/8ef0052a-9ec6-4eb5-8373-35e15f18d1e4/downloads/monarch-esa-petition-4d-rule_61731%20(1).pdf?ver=1705591291171

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.
