Monarch Butterfly NZ Trust

This butterfly was released on the 4th April 2006

One slightly tatty female, been laying eggs on our swan plants for several days.

One butterfly, but I didn’t get close enough to see if male or female, flittering around near the ground in the sun.

Sitting on tree in the sun warming itself

While we were sitting on the verandah having morning coffee it cruised by - very healthy condition but went in large circles returning as if looking for flowers/nectar

Feeding on milkweed in garden

Healthy large adult flying strongly round my swan plants

Sitting in my backyard, sunning himself!
