Here's my favourite moth find of the past week, which we saw at Hinewai Reserve over the hill from Akaroa, NZ. It's *Declana floccosa* which is quite variable in it's colours and patterns. This is the first one I've seen speckled with bright orange spots.

The landscapes around Akaroa.
A view of the Akaroa waterfront from the water, showing sprawling hills in the background, boats of varying sizes on the water, and colourful buildings built into the hillside. A view of the main dock of Akaroa, with calm blue waters and grass and tree covered hills in the background. A view of the landscape around Akaroa from the windy road leading there. A fence in the foreground, with tree covered hills all over, the occasional house/farmstead, and the bay Akaroa sits on. Green hills divided by fences and trees, with a small town nestled between the hills, and a windy road running along the hills.

There's something fairytale-like about this vista of the Akaroa peninsula ...

If you folks make it across the South Island, my wife and I would love to say "hi" sometime. We can also definitely find you penguins at our friends' penguin reserve (their house). We're in Akaroa.

Enjoy NZ!

I have been looking at Akaroa but now see PM will be there so that's off-putting. At least one kiddo has just said they have preference for the hikoi so there is that :)

Red-beaked and black-backed #gulls going after offal and trim tossed overboard by fishermen in #Akaroa at the end of their day.

I think I'll always be able to hear these photos. 🤣

Juvenile and adult black-backed gulls having a disagreement over who's snack it is. The juvenile is brown and grey mottled, standing up to a full-grown adult who had their wing outstretched to and behind them as they get close to the juvenile, who has their wings partially open. Red-branded guild. 2 sure on the water looking calm, one sits if the water with wings back mod-flap, and the first gull is in the process of trying to drag a big chunk of guts and skin out of the water. Their wings are curved around them and over their head as they backwing hard to try to take off with their prize. 4 seagulls sit calmly on the dark water as a fifth tries hard to take off with a huge snack Two gulls go after a piece of fish guts and skin, one tugging with a bite in it's break trying to backwing away, and the other in the process of landing just behind the first. The water is deep, dark blue, with red reflecting off the fishing vessel from which their snack came.

In that case on your way to Akaroa from ChCh you NEED to stop at Birdlings Flat, the entire beach is a treasure trove of pretty stones.

Most beaches in NZ are sand, but if there's a Stony Beach it'll have pretty & precious stones.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, who attended the 2024 commemorations at Waitangi, near Paihia in Te Tai Tokerau, announced in December he would not attend that venue this year, saying “it has always been my intention to celebrate Waitangi Day around the country with different iwi”.

We drove to Akaroa today. It’s a nice little town with some artsy vibes. BUT…

Do not drive to Akaroa unless you love hairpin curved going up and down mountains. It was an extremely annoying drive and the town is not worth the aggravation!
