Caterpillars (Larvae)
• emerges only 2mm long
• eats egg shell
• grows in stages (five instars)
• eats day and night for 9-14 days (Summer)
• slower in Winter

Swan Plant Gomphocarpus fruticosus
– grows 1-2 metres

35
Food Sources - Caterpillars
Giant Swan Plant Gomphocarpus physocarpus
– 2-3 metres– large round leaf– larger cream flowers– round seedpods more like hairy golfballs– rapid growth, strong plant, usually outlives
caterpillars’ attacks– may need staking - plant out of strong winds
![Page 36: Monarch Butterflies PowerPoint Pizzazz by the ‘Butterfly Lady’ Jacqui Knight of Russell, Bay of Islands, NZ Danaus plexippus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551c4adb5503469d6a8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

37ALTERNATIVE FOOD SOURCES
• Only suitable for caterpillars 2cm +
• Pumpkin, cucumber rind, courgettes
• Put thin slivers on to a plate
• Use the ‘moat’ process to force the caterpillars to eat

38
Pests
• Birds – generally do not predate Monarchs – caterpillars are poisonous to them – some birds are exception and build up tolerance to poison
![Page 39: Monarch Butterflies PowerPoint Pizzazz by the ‘Butterfly Lady’ Jacqui Knight of Russell, Bay of Islands, NZ Danaus plexippus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551c4adb5503469d6a8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Pests
• Wasps:– Tachinid larva burrows into a Monarch larva
(caterpillar), eats tissues and fluid from Monarch– Brachonid wasp, female
lays one egg inside Monarchlarva. From that egg, asmany as 32 genetically-identical adults develop

Pests
• Do not try and kill pests --
• Some wasps are beneficial, introduced to control other pests such as aphids
![Page 41: Monarch Butterflies PowerPoint Pizzazz by the ‘Butterfly Lady’ Jacqui Knight of Russell, Bay of Islands, NZ Danaus plexippus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551c4adb5503469d6a8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Protection from Wasps
1. Vase full of water on a tray
2. Spread a thin layer of water on the tray to act as a moat
3. Put a branch of Swan Plant in the vase
4. Remove small caterpillars very gently from their host plant using a ‘pocket’
5. Add caterpillars by pegging pocket to Swan Plant
6. Add more food daily to the vase
7. Under the tray you will want to put layers of newspaper to catch all the frass or poop

• Native– East of the Rockies: Reserves in Mexico– Autumn: migrate up to 3000km south to
Mexico for the North American Winter• That’s one and a half times the length of New Zealand!
– Spring: migrate back to where their great great grandparents come from – 5th generations!

North America• Native to America
– West of the Rockies: overwinter in California – e.g. Monterey Peninsula
– Spring: migrate back north – some say to where their forebears lived.

North America80% of the Eastern Population of
migrating Monarchs enters Mexico by crossing the Rio Grande in Southwest
Texas.
For six weeks each Fall (Autumn) many thousands of monarchs cluster and nectar nightly on the scrubby, dry vegetation. Thousands of square miles
of scrub brush provide shelter and sustenance for the many millions of
Monarchs.
This pair of tagged Monarchs will nectar on the Lantana, warming themselves in the direct sunlight
before resuming their southward trek. Photo courtesy
