🌿All go in Christchurch, 7 days of easterly winds and finally it’s calm and hot. 🌿Monarchs are back in numbers laying eggs. Heaps of caterpillars bring pick up by people in areas with no eggs. 🌿Im getting loads requests from people with surplus of caterpillars. Cover your plants and squish the eggs. This will keep your brood at a manageable level. 1 decent size plant of 50cm will feed only 3 caterpillars at the max. 🐛🤣😱 🌿The butterfly house in town is at capacity and needs more swan plants if anyone is feeling generous. 🙏🏼🦋😁 🌿The video above is 8 mins worth of capture, my whole family got to experience! 😊 #monarchbutterfly #metsamorphosis #butterfly #babycaterpillars #butterflies #monarchs #mariposa #cocoon #lepidoptero #nature #pupa #monarchwatch #ourplanetdaily #monarchbutterflies #teaching #savetogether #savethemonarchs #outdoors #mybackyard #chrysalis #love #naturevideos #caterpillar 🧡😁 🌿🙏🏼LONG GRATEFUL POST!!! 😁🧡🌿🙏🏼 Thanks to all my wonderful monarch lovers that choose to follow this page, & a warm welcome to all my new followers This page was purely created so my friends news feeds wouldn't get filled up with tonnes of my butterfly photos and bore them!! 🤣 What a journey, this page has helped me transform personally just like a caterpillar who really doesn't know whats next. My amazing book emerged within a short space of time (this was never on my bucket list, it came out of no where)! I thought, I just carry on enjoying taking photos of my garden to share along side my experiences so people can learn too.....Wrong! Before my book got published, word got out and I turned up at schools teaching about the Monarchs life cycle. With a feeling of imposter syndrome, feeling I wasn't an expert and didn't know enough, was I just going mad turning up dressed in Monarch attire? This blew over pretty quickly and realised how much children loved learning about the life cycle and how much people needed to know as there is so much to understand when raising monarchs. 🦋 There was a need for me to spread my wings, experiences and passion. Schools & Garden groups asked me back, parents and teachers raved about me and went to more schools. I thought wow how blessed am I to meet so many lovely children, teachers & get to dress up creating magic whilst we are all having fun. I love my job and feel honoured that Im able to visit schools all around the country now, advising schools how to create a butterfly gardens and helping boost the population of the monarch butterfly. In 2018 a butterfly house popped up in the centre of town that I wished for 4 years ago that is a sanctuary for homeless caterpillars & for anyone to enjoy visiting and admire. Last year I had been studying full time, so The Butterfly Musketeers is where I'm going to pour my energy back into once again. 👊🏼 The Butterfly Musketeers page aim is to help people to connect within their environment, and creatures that share it, as well as relaxing and creating joy in their lives. By doing this we witness magic and receive healing that nature offers to us. Most of my caterpillars are free range, but when caterpillars are crazy enough to live life on the edge and decide to make a “J” on a leaf that is being eaten at the top by another caterpillar. I bring these in to my kitchen to rescue as I don’t want to find these on their side at the bottom of the plant. . . . #lifecycle #monarch #MonarchButterfly #butterfly #butterflies #caterpillar #change #metamorphosis #chrysalis #cocoon #nature #naturelover #naturephotography #insect #insecta
