NEW butterfly in Blockhouse Bay

Jacqui from Blockhouse Bay

Not many people know about this beautiful butterfly which arrived in New Zealand a few years ago. It was brought into New Zealand because it likes to lay its eggs on Japanese honeysuckle, which is becoming a problem weed around the country

The caterpillars eat the leaves of Japanese honeysuckle so the plant is less likely to spread. Please look out for these butterflies which were released in Blockhouse Bay today. By this time next year hopefully you will see more of them

Posting photos of caterpillar and chrysalis (which may be found on honeysuckle).

Sightings can be reported in to www.mb.org.nz....
