These are reports of Monarch Butterfly sightings throughout New Zealand (mostly!). You can contribute by reporting Monarch sightings and also by reporting pest sightings in your area.
several butterflies enjoying newly opened flowers on peach and plumtrees– I hope they will make up for the lack of bees– I expect a bumper crop as a result
Fluttered past my lounge window several times as though looking for somewhere to land
2 butterflies mating on garden fence.
It was sitting on a book, Very battered, Its wings were all ripped and seemed to have not formed properly and it had a broken leg, but very alive.
Butterflies everywhere– enjoying plum flowers, Magnolia,Blackwood acacia,bottlebrush ,agonis and tree lucen. There seems to be 4 or5 in each tree and more fluttering around.Obviously more than half a dozen have survived our awful weather.
