| Red Admiral |
Progress is being made to reintroduce Red Admiral butter
flies to the gully. We have propagated a number the nettle plants that they
require for breeding. We are fencing off an out-of-the way area for the nettle
and there will be signage on the fence to warning people that touching the
plants will cause an unpleasant irritation.

| Yellow Admiral |
We have identified a river bank on the Hauraki plans that
has nettle and Red Admirable butterflies. This will be the source of stock once
our nettle plants are established. Yellow admirals are already present in the
gully so we are looking forward for their population to increase.
