Dr. David James, entomologist at Washington State University, is directing research throughout Idaho during 2026, to determine the migratory corridors utilized by monarchs during their fall migration from Idaho. After over a decade of releasing thousands of monarchs in Idaho with paper tags, it remains a mystery where Idaho monarchs go. Do they head Southwest to overwintering sites along the California coast, due south into Utah and Arizona, or fly all the way to Mexico? Utilizing an ultra-lite telemetry tracker called the “Blu+ Morpho” we now have the capacity to track monarchs in real time.
