There's a particular "gap" on the Blue Ridge Parkway where the Monarchs usually
pass through on their migration south.

I remember stopping there on one of my visits several years ago and there were
several people netting & tagging Monarchs ... then releasing them again to
continue on their journey.

"And are they ever recovered?"
Yes. Here is probably more than you ever want to know about tagging

It's pretty much the end of the season for the Monarch butterflies. I

finished tagging ones that I recently released or captured, and am
submitting my data to Monarch Watch.
Here is one of the recent butterflies to emerge from its chrysalis. The
newly emerged male is still hanging from remains of his former shell, the
remains of which can be seen above him. He hangs like this, drying his
wings, before they are strong enough that he can fly.
