Carol Stensness lives in the South Auckland area and has had a lifelong interest in Monarchs. She remembers having swan plants at home as a child.
In 2002 she started rearing butterflies in a couple of adapted banana boxes, partly to help save the few plants she had, and also to protect the caterpillars from paper wasps. Now she has a caterpillar castle… and is thinking of getting a second one.
Carol has a background in administrative and accounting support, and has been a member of the MBNZT since 2005. She has participated in tagging each year which she enjoys.
