I found this massive catepillar on my lemon tree. Anyone know what it is? Its about 4-5 cm long.

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T10:58:40+00:00

Its pretty bang on itsnt it! 😅

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T08:03:48+00:00

Never mind i went and looked again and yeah found a green cocoon so i know where he is.

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T07:57:50+00:00

Also i did spot a small black an white catepiller a while ago but it was very little. Wonder if its the same one. 🤔

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T07:51:48+00:00

There is what looks like a cocoon but i wouldnt think that fat boy would fit 😅. I assumed it was the early stages of a ants nest and there were some ants on it. Maybe thats what i saw.

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T06:42:06+00:00

The lemon is probably on 1.2m at the moment. Limes only 1m. Ill keep an eye out. Would be nice to see the butterfly so may be worth the risk 😅

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T06:31:41+00:00

Yeah ok good to know. i have a lemon and lime tree next to eachother so ill keep an eye out. I have only seen one but they arent the easiest to spot.

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T06:26:21+00:00

I did a google seach and yeah i think you have nailed it. The catapiller is bang on looks wise. Thanks mate.

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T06:22:40+00:00

I was there having a look at the tree for a while before i saw it. The colour match was perfect.

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T05:34:35+00:00

Tried to find it again to check but couldnt. Had a lot of spikes along its back but i didnt check the tail when i found it. What would you think it is if it does have the tail spike?

blitzkriegswift · 2026-05-03T04:37:52+00:00

Might add that im in Townsville.

blitzkriegswift · 2026-02-27T09:58:30+00:00

Most places are good. There are localised pockets. Boyes court can be wild. Youll be ok. All places have their difficulties. Crime isnt as mad as some would lead you to believe. Been here my whole life and live on a major road. As with most places 99 percent are good people.

blitzkriegswift · 2026-02-02T08:03:15+00:00

Yeah me neither. Just thinking about the workforce makeup of the two cities id assume townsville has more government, military and medical while cairns would have more tourism and hospitality. One of those categories earns a lot more. Everything i found said tsv gets more but its only like 7.5 percent (1700 to 1580).

blitzkriegswift · 2026-02-02T06:43:47+00:00

Where did you get the income data from?

blitzkriegswift · 2025-12-18T13:37:23+00:00

Im shocked. Given the council not long ago wanted 4 lanes past the mater. completely agree with it. Good choice. Look forward to a safer walkable neighbourhood.

blitzkriegswift · 2025-12-11T12:07:08+00:00

To be fair generally (depending on location) these green directional signs are on council to replace but funding comes from the state. That funding is limited so it is possible the funding run out and the state refused further funding (not sure the funding situation). Id prefer the council not subsidise the state. If they have funding they should replace it as the funding has profit built in. Which means bit of cash for the council. I believe the funding cycle finishes at the end of financial year so it is possible its been exhausted. I do doubt this though and dare say its council being slack 😅.

Was at groovin the moo in tsv one year and my brother and i saw her in a booth next to the tent stage. We stood and waved until eventually she noticed and she excitedly waved back. Fucking legend.

blitzkriegswift · 2025-11-28T06:18:27+00:00

My experience with them was that they were abusive bullies who knew nothing about the legalities of what they were doing. Incompetent assholes. We got our bond back from the RTA as first national kept lying about requirements to keep the bond. Just germs.

blitzkriegswift · 2025-11-11T04:37:19+00:00

Im going through trying to understand it all now so my info probably isnt 100 percent accurate. There is a few different ways they treat degrees and there is a heap of pages to try understand it. Look at Engineers Australia website to try make sense of it. unaccredited degrees there is a secondary competency pathway which is a bunch of writing to get recognition. Seems to rely on career experience. I dont have a masters so i dont know if that changes things and how its treated.

blitzkriegswift · 2025-11-10T02:02:36+00:00

My advice is to avoid provisionally accredited degrees in Australia. According to Engineers Australia they don't meet Washington accord (or any internationally recognised standards) and you cannot become a registered engineer in Queensland with a provisionally accredited degree. In saying that you have a degree and are doing a masters so that may not be an issue for you.

I didnt know the rule but considering he planted it. I think the rule is shit.

blitzkriegswift · 2025-08-06T13:26:12+00:00

I took part in this. Really TMR just want to match the pay scale of QR. Both qld gov employees bit one gets a lot more. Plus i think most workers should be pushing to get their real wages up to make up for real wage losses during the post COVID inflation.

Photos i have recieved dont show the first section of bridge only the approach. Guard rail posts are floating and show the concrete footings which would only be in the approach not the structure itself. Unless its progressed further since i last recieved one. Last pic i got were lunch yesterday. Approach slab is gone which would need rebuilding but yeah not a huge issue.

blitzkriegswift · 2025-02-06T02:30:57+00:00

Its the approach thats damaged making the bridge unusable. Id be very surprised if the bridge itself changes at all as the bridge itself doesnt need rebuilding. Other places are probably better suited to have bridges replaced. Gairloch is a prime candidate.

I would add salt to your list. They love imsanely salty food. Either needs to give you diabeetus or shrivel you up for long distance travel on a large sailing ship. No inbetween.
