Our bottle brush tree was full of these guys yesterday. They seem to have moved on today though…

I’m in the southern hemisphere (New Zealand) so just coming into autumn. I’m not actually sure when Monarchs usually show but It feels late in the year for them.

I don’t see them until well into our summer, e.g. sometime in August and into September. We’ll get larvae in the yard and I’ll see the adults here and there. (But that’s just the past couple of years or so, when I’ve been paying attention.)

Went out for some lockdown supplies and our neighbors had put this guy out on the side of the road

[tairl]

Some kinda ambiguous dog cat teddy bear

[Ratel]

And did he acquire it with his harpoon?
