Kaleidoscopes Monarch Program

DEFINITION: KALEIDOSCOPE

Butterflies flying in a group are often referred to as a kaleidoscope, due to their many beautiful colours!

Our community research project needs your help to record observations so that we can map Monarch flight and roosting areas. Use the sign-up form below to join the Kaleidoscopes! Then, scroll down for a video and simple instructions to join iNaturalist and start collecting observations of Monarch butterflies. This project runs every year from August through mid-October!

If you aren't already, join the iNaturalist Canada Community

Record an observation of a Monarch Butterfly, a Monarch roost, or conduct a Monarch Butterfly point count!
