Arkansas Monarch Found Six Miles From Home A monarch was tagged in Arkansas and recaptured 3.5 hours later. It was 6.75 miles away. We asked, “Assuming the monarch flew the entire time, how many miles per hour did the Arkansas monarch travel?” Brian M. divided 6.75 miles by 3.5 hours to get 1.9 miles per hour. Nice work, Brian! He sent his monarch map from Mrs Lodge's science class at RHAM Middle School in Hebron, CT   This Season Teachers Kids Orientation Registration Search Copyright 1997-2008 Journey North.
