Monarch Wing Tagging at Waikiki Field Station
by Joanne Baker
Water droplets coat the cold, brushed steel housing of a microscope resting on a wet wooden table. A biologist in a white lab coat holds a monarch butterfly, positioning a tiny colored tag against the orange and black wing membrane. Sharp late morning light cuts through the humid air, revealing the intricate vein structure of the insect and the texture of the wet wood. Symmetrical arrangements of glass vials and metal instruments stand beside the subject, their surfaces gleaming with moisture from the heavy monsoon atmosphere. Condensation gathers along the metal edges of the equipment, reflecting the overcast sky above the Honolulu field station. one drop of rain slides down the side of a glass slide rack.
