Monarch counts this Thanksgiving has hit another record low (source). We are currently looking for your help if you’ve seen a monarch, of any life stage (egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly), in the west.

The Western Monarch Mystery Challenge is a community science campaign running February 14th through April 22nd 2021, formed by researchers from Washington State University, Tufts University, UC Santa Cruz, and the Xerces Society to learn more about monarchs in order to inform urgent conservation efforts. Thank you all for participating and contributing to a meaningful and important project!
