Default Mystery butterfly

In article ,
says...

I was in a garden centre in New Zealand and noticed some plants had lots of
caterpillars which I dutifully reported to a member of staff. Apparently
they are sold like that so people can have exotic butterflies in their own
greenhouses.


What a great idea!

When I was about 8, someone gave me a present of a collection of live
butterfly chrysalids (apprently you could buy them by post). I kept them
watched them hatch.. magical experience... and let them out in the
garden.
