My creature mihi

 
Ko Wai au?  

I am originally from North America, but now we are considered a native species to New Zealand having established ourselves here in the 1870s. We can be spotted in Northland, Hawkes bay, Christchurch and Nelson. I can trace my lineage back through Holometabola, Rhopalacera and Insecta. This means that we go through stages of life like egg, larva, pupa and then adult stages. My Latin name is Danaus Plexippus and my family name is Nymphalidae. I am also related to other butterflies. I am a Monarch Butterfly


Can you guess what my animal is?
