Have you ever bought swan plants with pesticide on them and been dismayed to see your monarch caterpillars squirm and later die? The Monarch Butterfly New Zealand Trust is this year listing on their website garden centres that will never sell swan plants.

You'll also find some of the other reasons noted there why monarch caterpillars can die. Of course predators (wasps etc) can be a problem too and there are tips elsewhere on their website to help with those.

I hope to see many more beautiful monarch butterflies filling the skies this summer!

The punnet was bought at an Auckland Countdown but the location will not be disclosed.

Countdown is advising New Zealand customers to cut up strawberries before eating them.

Countdown supermarket has withdrawn the Choice brand of Australian strawberries from sale as what it calls a "precautionary measure", the supermarket said in a media release.
