Butterflies in the Wintertime

 Walking along the shoreline on Tauranga Bay, Whangaroa, we noticed the butterflies.
 What a wonderful experience, seeing Monarchs in the wintertime in New Zealand.
 The butterflies fluttered around us on our walk back to the cabin.
 The caterpillars surprised me, I thought the butterflies had migrated for the winter, but I think they are there all year round.

 Lots of butterflies, and plenty of caterpillars.  They over winter at Whangaroa Bay. 

 The 'swan plants" grow on the shoreline, and there were plenty of them for the caterpillars to feed on.
