There is much debate as to why I support a non native butterfly. Instead of focusing on native butterflies rather than a butterfly that arrived in New Zealand by its own free will. From my experience and witnessing other people raising Monarchs, I believe Monarchs…

54 butterflies released this week at home and over 40 at the butterfly house. 🦋 Heaps more today too yippeee. This female was one of the first that I’ve known to open at midnight normally all mine open during the day. Probably confused with the high temps of yesterday. She enclosed inside as she crazily hung a chrysalis on a swan plant leaf and would have fell when the other caterpillars chew the leaf above her. These are the only ones I bring inside. 🐛 I’ve just released her in the hot winds, think she would have rather stayed on my arm! 😂🦋 . . #butterfly #tattoo #tattoos #butterflies #monarchs #mariposamonarca #mariposa #wings #takeflight #insects #mygarden #newborn #orange #butterflytattoo I wasn't going to post a cheesy Valentines day post picture, although the monarchs had other ideas. 😆 They wanted to be seen whilst I was doing my yoga practice this afternoon, as I looked out the window I saw two monarchs sucking nectar side by side in the distance. Next minute it was love at first sight and they were all over each other for ages. 😍🦋🧡🖤🦋 This is a massive Leucopogon Parviflorus tree which hosts over 100’s bumble bees simultaneously! . . #monarch #happyvalentinesday #love #sexytime #mating #nature #monarchbutterfly #butterfly #butterflies #insect #insecta #mariposamonarca #mariposa It was a scorcher day of 34 degrees last week but inside @grassrootsyogahealth was a tranquil, cool, calm and peaceful setting with over 30 Monarch butterflies that joined in the powerful yoga session. The butterflies were so well behaved and was amazing to see them landing on people and resting on their bodies. A feast of flowers and caterpillars! 🦋🧡🙏🏼 . . #monarch #yoga #metamorphosis #yogaflow #nature #sanctuary #mariposa #insects #flowerstagram #caterpillar #sunflower #flowers #summerdays #events #collaboration #joy #love #meditation
