Biologist Tagging Monarch Wings at Java Observatory in beside an observatory dome in Java

Biologist Tagging Monarch Wings at Java Observatory

by Heidi Humphrey

Orange low-angle light washes over a field station beside a white observatory dome in Java. A biologist in a white coat stands at a wooden table, holding a monarch butterfly by its wings to attach a tiny tag. The cool season air hangs low with gray clouds that soften the horizon. Wooden planks of the table show grain and wear, while the butterfly's orange and black pattern contrasts against the pale skin of the researcher's fingers. Converging lines of the building's architecture draw toward the dome in the background. Dust settles on the table surface near a cluster of small glass vials. at the edge is the precise pressure of a thumb on the delicate wing membrane.
