Apologies to fellow Forest & Bird members for double posting, but here is an item that came up on Facebook today:
From the Central Auckland branch e-newsletter that came out in December just before Xmas:
Native butterflies: A new project about to be undertaken by the branch concerns the need to establish pockets of natural habitat for the purpose of providing Red and Yellow Admiral Butterflies (Kahukura) with a place to nest and flourish within the city. Their larvae feed mainly on native nettles and permission has been obtained from the Auckland City Council to plant nettles in Balmoral and Meadowbank. It is early days but we welcome expressions of interest if you are willing to plant nettles in your garden and establish your very own Red or Yellow Admiral Butterfly haven. Please contact our committee member and butterfly enthusiast Rob Jones for further information or to offer assistance: rob.jones@xtra.co.nz .
