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!

Shopping has become such a big part of our everyday lives, and the choices we make can influence more than we realise.

If you’d like to make those dollars work harder for our local communities, consider choosing small. Households spend more than $110 billion with big businesses each year. Shifting a portion of that toward small, local retailers can make a huge difference for the wider small-business economy.

If you think you have found a hornet or its nest in your area, take a clear photo and report:
• online at  report.mpi.govt.nz
• by calling our exotic pest and disease hotline on  0800 80 99 66

The yellow-legged hornet has distinctive dark legs with bright yellow tips. Hornets are also much larger than honeybees and common wasp species seen in New Zealand.

The yellow-legged hornet is a biosecurity concern due to its potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations.
