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.

Female Cinnabar on groundsel

Cinnabar moths have a strange habit of playing dead if you touch them, then before long they take off again! This female has been laying eggs on groundsel.
