Watch out for bluebottle jellyfish at Muriwai beach

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Nor-west News

Hi neighbours, at least 17 people were stung by bluebottle jellyfish at Muriwai on Monday. Thousands of people were at the beach that day, despite a warning being posted on Auckland Council's Safeswim website about a large number of jellyfish being in the water.
The beach goers who were stung received first aid treatment from lifeguards. Bluebottle jellyfish stings cause whip-like red welts that can last for up to three days. They can be extremely painful, so make sure you watch out for them and check for warnings.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
