Flies flying over the Rimutakas

Michael from Pinehaven

In the Wairarapa there is a cluster fly epidemic this year. They are terribly difficult to get rid of and some people will say almost impossible. They come in their thousands.
Have they infiltrated Upper Hutt too?
It could be the the highly rated Fig Tree Cafe in Heretaunga/Thentham has had a cluster fly problem.
I am certain that the management of Fig Tree will do whatever it takes to rid the fly problem that they have or had.
If you want to really see or experience flies then try Perth or anywhere along that coastline in Australia. There they have fly sandwiches so called because any food consumed outside can attract hundreds if not thousands of flies.
As for the report by a Neighbourly member that a Fig Tree employee said the management didn't care about any fly problem - what nonsense. Go figure.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
