my mum bought this thingymajig from the $2 shop and it's a solar powered butterfly that spins around and around... it's a novelty BUT also the theory is, it attracts the flying things in your garden and when they go towards it and it does nothing for them, they fly away somewhere else!!

well it sounds like a novel idea in theory - does it actually work?

well I have it in the vegie garden that has the lettuce, tomatoes, basil and ummm, trying to think of what I planted in there yesterday...  and differently to last year in that particular patch, I don't have any flying anything's hanging around so maybe it does work...  and for a couple of bucks it's probably worth a shot..  I had that many flying insects and butterfly's around my vegies last year it became ridiculous, I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked...  heard Jamie Oliver's (I LOVE HIM) gardener saying he gets the 'hoover' out, shakes the plants and then hoovers the fliers...lol

I have seen those solar powered butterfly's, but the tennis racquet might work better
