Hi, we had two beautiful huge swan plants that attracted a monarch butterfly, long story short they have laid so many eggs that the caterpillars have decimated both plants and now require a new home. Many of them have transformed into butterflies which in turn laid more eggs… We purchased two more new swan plants however they’re just not growing fast enough so we now have no food for our poor wee caterpillars.

If anyone can re-home them that’d be wonderful. We’re in the Albany end of Greenhithe, near Schnapper Rock. Please contact me if you are able to help.

Thanks very much!

Sally.

If it helps, Sally, I am in Blockhouse Bay and can either rehome your caterpillars or offer you some larger swan plants, about 800mm tall, $5 each, caterpillar friendly.
