Hi Team,
I've been bombarded with caterpillars this season - it's great! But they're tearing through the swan plants like there's no tomorrow!
I love in Lower Hutt, just wondering if anyone has any mature plants that I can possibly purchase?
Cheers!
Hi,
Ive had a very low season for Monarchs - only one butterfly now hatched...So I have 4 plants about 1m tall. Would you consider up lifting some butterflies for me? Rather than digging up my plants - just a thought? Im in Roseneath.
Im in Lower Hutt. We had a bumper "crop" as well. At least 200 or more caterpillars, we gave away at least 80+ to our neighbours and sister living in Mt Victoria. Currently we have 100 chrysalises and 10-15 medium to large caterpillers munching the last of our plants/pumpkin shavings.
Came home from work today and had first butterfly hatch, a beautiful female, I put her on a plant outside and within 5 minutes a male dive-bombed her and carried her away! 20 more chrysalises very dark and will probably hatch tomrrow first thing.
Hi Mattron,
Trademe often has good plants locally, but maybe you've tried that.
PS: I used to "love in Lower Hutt" too! LOL
