Two salmon products are being recalled because they may contain listeria.

The New Zealand King Salmon Co. Ltd has recalled a specific batch of its Southern Ocean brand New Zealand King Salmon Smoked Pieces and Regal Marlborough King Salmon brand Cold Smoked Salmon which may contain Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

The affected batch is coded with M362D or M362N. The recall did not apply to any other Regal Marlborough or Southern Ocean brand products.

Consumers are being asked to check batch numbers and not consume the affected salmon, which was sold 200g and 500g vacuum packs.

The recall was a precautionary measure after test results for a single sample in the affected batch suggested it contained listeria. Read more here.

Caterpillars not just mindless leaf crunchers?

Paul from Levin

I've been forced to change my attitude towards caterpillars. They are not simply mindless leaf-crunching pests in my garden. Well, they are indeed leaf crunchers and pests in most cases.

They are not simply mindless leaf-crunching pests in my garden. Well, they are indeed leaf crunchers and pests in most cases. But I was photographing monarch caterpillars on one of my 5 swan plants, which as you can see, they have completely stripped of foliage. So they were munching on the the ends of the stems as in the 2nd photo. But one stem had 2 caterpillars one large one small, harmoniously chewing together. Another even larger one was purposefully aiming at the summit. When the top one became aware of the challenge it created an up-side-down U posture and butted the head of the challenger. They confronted each other head to head until the climber then did his own U-turn and retreated. Hah! I was surprised. The original two carried on chewing as if nothing had happened.

But that was not all. Two or three days later I twice found medium sized caterpillars about 20 metres (as the crow flies you might say) away from the stripped swan plant. They would have had to travel much further to get there as they are not yet able to fly. Fortunately I have a camouflaged swan plant to translocate them to as a reward for their perseverance and courage. I wonder if they will remember me in their next life?

Hi neighbours,

How about those Phoenix?!

The Wellington Phoenix came from behind to beat the Mariners on the weekend to extend their unbeaten record to eight games - their best ever run in their history. Saturday's game also saw our Kiwi A-League team play in front of ​10,186 spectators - their best crowd in recent years.

New coach Mark Rudan has been widely credited with rejuvenating the team - read his passionate post-game thoughts here.

Did you head along to the stadium to support the boys on the weekend?

Are you back on the bandwagon? Or did you never get off?
