Philinopsis taronga in New Zealand

August 3, 2003
From: Paul Furneaux

Dear Bill,
My “old friend” Philinopsis taronga is still around [July 2003 - Tauranga, New Zealand] although its numbers have decreased and it is moving much more slowly in these colder winter temperatures. Its egg masses are still evident and I usually note around 3 to 5 individual animals on each visit, in the same area that I first came across them [see earlier messages].
Regards,
Paul Furneaux

Thanks Paul,
It will be interesting to see if they disappear completely, and when the next generation start to appear
Best wishes,
