We've been seeing heaps of "Little Blue" butterflies around the gardens this summer and autumn here at Struan Farm. They are also called "Common Blue," "Zizina otis labradus," and "Pepe Ao Uri."
I'm hoping some Monarch Butterflies will still come forth this season, but the caterpillars are having a hard time surviving attacks from beetles on the swan plants. We do have a few chrysalis around plus caterpillars, so here's hoping for survival of the fittest!
