When I was looking at the post on my New Zealand blog I was wondering how Lisa was because I know you don't see her very often. I think wasps are the one insect I detest above all others.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-81243534311596204922020-04-17T13:13:47.172+01:002020-04-17T13:13:47.172+01:00Oh.... how lovely!!

At present he has about 50 caterpillars.

You took them in Chris' garden. She always asks after you, as does Lisa (who we stayed with in Warkworth). It's been years since I've seen caterpillars or monarch butterflies in the numbers there used to be. Another reason why I destroy wasps nests at any opportunity. Go well.

I did see a few butterflies of some kind on the first warm sunny days of spring here though (probably small tortoiseshell). Alas, now the weather has turned colder again. I hope they either had time to do what they came out for, or else went back into hibernation for a while longer...
