v where do the butterflies go what kills the caterpillars tis man teamed the hard way the curiosity of a boy with a butterfly net so years ago plus that boys persistence has led to an important scientific advance it might be described as one of the longest and zanicst research jobs on record dr frederick a urquhart head of tw royal ontario museums dhrittsh of zoology andpataeon- tology announced today that his l to find out where the but- tacflsaa go in the winter is com plete it is the first proof of an in sect mttfetlbfe ever presented and the techniques developed will en able scientists to study movements of some fcuects which are vitally important fn agriculture as a boy fred urquhart was curious about canadas best known butterfly the king billy or monarch no one knew where they went in winter some said they inade a suicide flight to the deean others said they migrated to sooth america after years of study and re search since 1938 with assistance of hundreds of

the problem that made the years of work necessary was that the scientist had to know exactly where individual butterflies went to prove any theory how do you follow a butterfly after several years of experim enting with different glues and papers dr urquhart found a way to stick a label on a butterflys wings that wouldnt wash off and that wouldnt interfere witlwfltght from i8 to 1wo he worked with- other scientists across the country trying different kinds of tags and labels his work was in terrupted by warservlcc in 1880 he was back at itogoin and a sat isfactory technique was developed in time for the ibm tagging in all 40000 monarch butterflies have been tagged and fred ur quhart captured and labelled 20000 himself he has had over 3p0 co- operators in canapaii1e usa tagging and spotting until this year results were discouraging butterflies bearing the label re turn to museum toronto were found in but a few scattered loc ations none of those tagged on the jersjsksbesbiiai gu ir n f w captured here and no canadian taj found in florida the stranne weather of 1956 seemed to help in some unexplain ed way and the results already this fall have made the proof of migration complete a monarch tagged on september 3 it meaford ontario was found in galveston texas on october 18 and dr uruqhart has had his per sonal reward for the other two important specimens found in brownwood texas and silsbcc texas were both tanged by him near his highland crcjk home a scientific report on the pro ject is being prepared now for re lease next year the study of the monarch but terfly was not limited to its mm- rutiim dr urquhart also wunted to know what killed them they have i no natural enemies and if all of the monarch caterpillars survived the earth would soon in- knee deep ill them in finding the answer to this question the scientist convinced his neighbors that he was insane caterpillars live on milkweed plants so dr urquhart simply plowed up his three acre subll h- an naideii mf planted milkuecd he spent several summers sitting on the cjound in his milkweed patch wlitehmg caterpillars why dont they survive- it turns out that the caterpillar is a natural mr- mogimi it just cant seem to find its way around when a slight breeze shakes the plant most of the caterpillars fall off the leaves cant find their way- back again and starve 1o death dr urquhart hasnt dihided what to do with his three acres of prime milkweed now that the pro ject is over people often think of the sden i list as a man m a white coat do- i i ing complicated and mysterious ex- j
