Anybody requiring caterpillars in the Panmure area is welcome to take a few home. I have varing sizes.

Also if anyone local has any extra , potted swan plants they could offer me I would be grateful. Just purchased a few but they are only little so won’t last long. Some caterpillars may eat the moth weed I cut but they would rather not.

Best to drape the moth vine over the swan plants, so it’s disguised by the smell of the swan plant. Hope that helps. I have good quality and large swan plants for sale here (Blockhouse Bay) for $8 each. Let me know if you’re interested.
