My Report About Red Admiral Butterflies

Australian butterflies are often blown out to sea. They nearly always die because they sometimes fail because they don't reach the land.

     There are other kinds of butterflies, like the red admiral butterfly. The red admiral butterfly is not only native to New Zealand. It is also found nowhere else naturally. The red admiral caterpillar also takes advantage of the toxic ongaonga. The food ongaonga is a vicious stinging plant that has been known to kill people and even horses. The brightly coloured stripes on the adult upper wings are another self-protecting feature.

Hi Kezia

I am glad that you decided to post a blog about the Red Admiral butterfly.

I can tell that the information that you found from your readings was useful in helping you to write your report in class. Good on you.
