Poll: Would you try ultra-distance cycling?

Ultra-distance cyclist Lael Wilcox is trying to ride around the world in 110 days and seven of those have just been spent covering 1534.36 kilometres of New Zealand roads.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
