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

Care Instructions

As a general rule we recommend the following care for our garments:

machine wash cold with like colours

• do not dry clean

• our prints are fine to iron over (as they are heat cured)

• designs can fade over time, and fading is hastened by frequent hot washes.

Lovely! Any chance you will bring back the lovely aqua coloured t-shirts we used to be able to purchase? We need a bit of brightness!

The blue is gorgeous!

We are repeat buyers because we love these T's. We think the philosophy is great, the quality is great, and the artwork is great.
I prefer to buy the men's style for myself (female) and my daughter prefers men's style too, as we both like a longer sleeve. Would prefer a V-neck, but I know it's hard for a small company to offer multiple styles.
Thanks again for another lovely birthday present!
