Matariki and korokoro (New Zealand/Aotearoa lamprey)
'Ka kitea a Matariki, ka rere te korokoro'
(When Matariki is seen, the lamprey migrate)
This month is the time to celebrate Matariki and with it the migration of korokoro/kanakana/lamprey in New Zealand!
Dr. Rangi Matamua gives a wonderful presentation on Matariki where he discusses the details of Matariki:

Waitī, the star of freshwater, must be burning bright this year since there have already been several reports of migrating lamprey from New Zealand and Chile!
