    How you can help look after our butterflies

    Time is running out to eradicate the Yellow Legged Hornet; that's according to an expert who spoke to Morning Report today. Yellow legged hornets go after honey bees, but they also threaten our butterfly population. And as we spoke about last week, monarch butterfly numbers are in sharp decline globally, populations in the United States dropping by as much as 96 percent. Fortunately, here in New Zealand there are some amazing people stepping up to help. Jacqui Knight, founding trustee and secretary of the Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust is with Jesse.
