Pepe para riki/Copper butterfly - 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.
Tumbleweed Tees recommend the following care instructions for their garments:
• machine wash cold with like colours
• avoid bleach
• line dry in the shade if possible
• 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
Wellington-based duo Kimberly and James have turned their background in biology and “bird nerd” obsession into a t-shirt business. All of the design and print work is done in-house in Days Bay, New Zealand - from rough sketches through to finished art work, transferring the art to silk screens and printing. They screen-print all products by hand, using low environmental impact water-based inks. Their t-shirts are designed in New Zealand, and made in either China or Bangladesh. The production facilities are all W.R.A.P (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) certified , ensuring a sweat-shop free product and ethical work conditions.
