Midlands meander

The KwaZulu-Natal Midlands Meander is an inland area of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa that lies outside of Pietermaritzburg but before the Drakensberg mountain range. There are several small towns located in the Midlands, including: Howick, Hilton, Balgowan, Nottingham Road and Mooiriver.The Midlands Meander is several tourism routes that include accommodation, art and crafts and restaurant stops.
The symbol of the Midlands Meander – the rare and endangered Karkloof Blue Butterfly (Orachrysops ariadne) is on the wing for a couple of weeks in Autumn and is known in only three locations in KwaZulu Natal. Dependent on moist mist-belt grassland, this butterfly has a unique relationship with the sugar ant (Camponotus natalensis) which carries the larva from the nest to the food source. Suitable sites for Karkloof Blue colonies occur on gentle southern slopes where the host plant Indigofera woodii thrives. Because we believe that the little things do count, the Midlands Meander has been funding a research project since 2004, in an attempt to ensure its survival.
