Monarch Monitoring Project - 9/19/08
Yesterday was a great day for monarchs!! (Finally!) With the help of skilled butterfly catcher Sam Galick (AKA the morning flight counter), I was able to tag and measure over 50 monarchs!! Indeed it was very satisfying, but monarchs were not the only insect in abundance at Cape May yesterday. It was a veritable...
(Carolina Saddlebags)
Anyone visiting the hawk watch platform yesterday noticed a little more than just hawks. Literally thousands of dragonflies filled the air in an amazing display of mass insect migration. Naturalist/artist/bird guru/dragonfly photographer Michael O'Brien took on the immense challenge of trying to count them all. He proceeded to do four 5-minute point counts on a transect across Cape May Point from Lighthouse Avenue to the dunes at Coral Avenue. Here is what he counted:
Common Green Darner - 4820
Swamp Darner - 2
Calico Pennant - 1
Eastern Pondhawk - 2
Twelve-spotted Skimmer - 1
Blue Dasher - 3
Wandering Glider - 17
Spot-winged Glider - 7
Pantala (glider) sp. - 52
Blue-faced Meadowhawk - 2
Carolina Saddlebags - 32
Black Saddlebags - 45
Tramea (saddlebags) sp. - 45
TOTAL = 5029
Although Michael didn't do his count until around 1 p.m. (a bit after peak dragonfly flight), the numbers still work out to roughly
Dragonfly-palooza!!

That's a lot of dragonflies!

Monarch Monitoring Project - 9/16/08
It has been another exciting week here at the Monarch Monitoring Project! Although monarch numbers were actually lower than last week (see below), auspicious wind changes yesterday brought new hope to monarch scientists and fans alike.
Week 1: An average of 14.02 monarchs/hour
Week 2: An average of 5.97 monarchs/hour
----------------------------------------------------------------
Cumulative Average for Weeks 1 & 2: 10.16 monarchs/hour
Week 1: An average of 14.02 monarchs/hour
Week 2: An average of 5.97 monarchs/hour
----------------------------------------------------------------
Cumulative Average for Weeks 1 & 2: 10.16 monarchs/hour
We have to keep our fingers crossed that more monarchs will come our way soon. In the meantime however, the monarchs that are in Cape May have been busy! Multiple monarch eggs were found this week on the underside of tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) leaves.
These eggs are very small and one must look carefully to find them. I, and former monarch intern Bradly Smith, were lucky enough to find two for the MMP's display at the Cape May Bird Observatory's Northwoods Center. After watching a female monarch lay two precious eggs, we cut the plant and rushed to the Northwoods Center to set up a tank. Three days later two tiny little monarch caterpillars hatched! Look below to see a picture of one of our little monarch caterpillars!
This little guy is only one day old in this picture. It's hard to tell but he is already hungrily munching away at the milkweed leaf. Soon enough our caterpillars will grow much larger and develop the bright coloration that is associated with monarch larvae. On this blog I will keep giving updates on the status of our caterpillars, so check back often! You can also visit them yourself at the Northwoods Center located on East Lake Drive right off of Lighthouse Avenue in Cape May Point.
That's all for now, keep trimming those butterfly bushes and wishing for monarchs! Hopefully they will be in Cape May, soon enough!
