How is science shaping my world?
7 Nov 17
We're celebrating 25 years of science for New Zealand with Science NZ and our partner Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) with a fascinating array of public talks and interactive exhibitions in Te Papa's Oceania Room. Scientists will be on hand to answer your questions, and as well as displays profiling our work on weeds, pest control, the environment, citizen science, and our unique biodiversity, we have activities for young and aspiring scientists.

The overwintering cocoons have thick walls built to withstand up to 3-4 years in the soil.
