NEW butterfly in 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).
