Swan plants without pesticides
Have you ever bought swan plants with pesticide on them and been dismayed to see your monarch caterpillars squirm and later die? The Monarch Butterfly New Zealand Trust is this year listing on their website garden centres that will never sell swan plants that have been sprayed with pesticides

You'll also find some of the other reasons why monarch caterpillars can die. Of course predators (wasps etc) can be a problem too and there are tips elsewhere on the website to help with those.
We hope to see many more beautiful monarch butterflies filling the skies this summer! Please feel free to share this with other Neighbourly communities.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
