Arctic Circle Cartoon - Eating Invasive Species

I really enjoyed drawing panel 3 of this cartoon. Poor Oscar...

And here are some more cartoons I’ve drawn about invasive species (we have quite a few in New Zealand, but so far I haven’t featured possums and stoats in the strip).

It is cooling off now in Lyttelton, New Zealand and that means NO MORE CABBAGE WHITE BUTTERFLIES! Hooray!

And a gardening program I watch (Gardening Australia) suggested using vegemite in snail traps. Apparently it is the yeasty smell they are attacted to in beer traps. I hate using good beer in traps, so I’m trying a sugary yeast solution. We’ll see if it works.
