A lot comes up when you search for the BluMorpho tags.

It’s amazing that they can cross Lake Michigan without stopping. It looks like 60-70 miles. What a cool project.
The site looks like it got hugged to death.<p>I’m on the monarch migration path and had wild milkweeds with monarch butterflies for a few years but the last 2-3 years oleander aphids exploded in population and I’ve seen a single caterpillar since.<p>Are there ways to mitigate that while not killing the monarchs or am I just shit out of luck?
I've replaced the top link with a different URL that's currently responding, and moved the submitted URL (<a href="https://blog.cwf-fcf.org/index.php/en/tiny-tracking-tags-for-big-monarch-journeys/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.cwf-fcf.org/index.php/en/tiny-tracking-tags-for...</a>) to the toptext. Thanks!
I release ladybugs every year and that seems to help. You can buy them online if they are hard to find locally.
