This blog is to document my efforts raising
Red and Yellow Admiral Butterflies in New Zealand. After hearing that there are a lot fewer found
in most areas of New Zealand, I decided to give them a helping hand, to try and
establish a colony of them in my area. Until I began
raising them, I had only ever seen one wild one visit my country garden in 30
years. I also raise other butterflies, moths and insects, so will include them here as well.

Emperor gum moths hatched today

When they are first hatched...its hard to believe they will be bright green in their later stages!
