Aotearoa has 4, 7, or more species of copper butterfly - more research is needed! Adult copper butterflies have copper and black markings and can range in size from 17-35mm. Their eggs are laid on the underside of pōhuehue/muehlenbeckia species where their small green caterpillars reside. See these beauties flying close to the ground in the summer months.

Each tee is hand-printed to order using water based inks.

$5 from this t-shirt is donated to Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust Pūrerehua Aotearoa

Love my Butterfly tee shirt!

I just arrived home to find my tee shirt for me and my grandson. It fits perfectly and true to the size chart. I love that a donation also goes to saving the copper butterflies!! Thank you Tumbleweed for coming up with such a great concept and wonderful artwork :-))
