Mid-summer is prime-time for Australia’s ‘Citrus Swallowtails’ As some of you have
Mid-summer is prime-time for Australia’s ‘Citrus Swallowtails’ As some of you have already posted – many of them are in their final days of being caterpillars, many have turned into chrysalises, or have even emerged and are once again on-the-wing busily visiting garden Citrus – looking for new places to start their next generation. As modern chemical technology has become so incredibly effective, long-lasting and impacting on ALL insects (including butterflies and other pollinators) – it is timely to remind as many gardeners as we can to hold-off from spraying – and allow these special insects to co-exist with us. By allowing them to live alongside us – hopefully many future generations of Australian’s will also learn to appreciate and enjoy these natural wonders? -- source link
