Special offer for butterfly-lovers!
The Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust is doing amazing things to achieve their mission of to ensuring our biodiversity promotes a thriving moth and butterfly population. The charity has a great “special offer” available now for new members: a free copy of George Gibbs’ excellent book on “The Monarch Butterfly in New Zealand” as well as a colourful ID poster of New Zealand’s butterflies. And they put the subscription to really good use… they’ve listed 19 ways (and I suspect there are more) on their website.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
