Mole cricket

That's a new one on me! Very cool!

You're welcome. My mother-in-law currently has my copy precisely because she is currently planting a butterfly garden in her front yard. We've been putting in lots of Hakeas, Banksia, and Coreas at our place for the Honeyeaters. But they also attract butterflies. Prickly box, Bursaria spinosa, grows wild here, so we encourage it wherever it pops up. Male Common brown butterflies feed on it almost exclusively. Birds Australia has a lot of information on their web site about planting a bird attracting garden.

Ooooh ta for that!

Katie, I have a book that touches on planting an Australian butterfly garden, it's called: Habitat Garden: Attracting Wildlife To Your Garden, by Peter Grant.

That's interesting as I'm in Australia ... They sound a pain but I like the idea of a butterfly garden!

Oh

Mole crickets eat the Bahia lawns in FLorida and cause a lot of expense. That is one reason I have gotten rid of much of my grass in the backyard where I have my Butterfly garden. I have never seen a real picture of the
Mole Cricket.
