    Cinnabar moth cterpillars eat ragworts & groundels.

    Get plants first before get livestocks.

    No good get livestocks before get plants.

    Hi Zac,
    Australia do not export its native animals.

    You might get cyclone-blew aussie butterflies for you to get eggs.

    Today I did not caught any butterflies.

    Zac and Clinton, I suggest you email each other privately.

    Please email us (trust@monarch.org.nz) if you are happy for the other to have your email address, and I will pass the email on.

    Cheers
