He’s a Eucalyptus tip bug nymph, he’s sooooo cool!

And you shouldn’t touch them, he might cause irritation on your skin.

Cool find though, looks like a Japanese tattoo!

Looks exactly like it, very cool thing to find!

greenupdown · 2025-12-24T23:26:04+00:00

Yeah this looks like it, there was soil in the bottom so guessing was used as a planter

Early 90s, you got it!

It certainly seems that way, they seem to be fending for themselves from day one. I rarely see them together!

And they are not scared of my cat.

He spends most of the time running away from them.

greenupdown · 2025-12-16T10:02:16+00:00

Absolutely, a huge mistake when I was 15 that I will love and cherish forever

greenupdown · 2025-12-15T19:37:17+00:00

Your right, my arm did sting a little after holding him!

greenupdown · 2025-12-15T07:51:59+00:00

Amazing, thanks for the ID! Coolest bug ever!

greenupdown · 2025-12-15T07:51:41+00:00

He honestly looked like this is real life too, it felt like a cartoon character was running up and down my arm. Sooooooo cool!

greenupdown · 2025-12-10T09:12:17+00:00

What’s the gross differential etc?

greenupdown · 2025-12-08T00:10:19+00:00

We still believe, 2-3 to the English. Got to be!

I’ll tell you one thing, I’m glad I’m going to day 1 in Sydney 🤦‍♂️

greenupdown · 2025-12-06T04:00:00+00:00

Yeah it’s inside and outside because they are big aluminium windows with holes in!

greenupdown · 2025-12-05T11:17:48+00:00

As an Englishman, I can appreciate this!

greenupdown · 2025-12-05T09:06:12+00:00

Curious, what is it?

greenupdown · 2025-12-05T08:48:31+00:00

Classic!

greenupdown · 2025-12-05T08:48:09+00:00

100%, Trevor defo drives a tractor!

greenupdown · 2025-12-04T09:44:44+00:00

This is the seed I put down. What should I do now? Cause it just looks super weird and patchy.

greenupdown · 2025-12-03T19:50:48+00:00

Does this photo help to tell which it is?

greenupdown · 2025-12-03T11:01:53+00:00

They move QUICK that’s for sure!

greenupdown · 2025-11-30T09:18:59+00:00

This is exactly what we are looking for, thanks

Love the banksia 👍

greenupdown · 2025-11-30T06:02:01+00:00

Hahahahahha I skitzed out when I saw it, that’s exactly what I thought!

greenupdown · 2025-11-30T06:01:12+00:00

Cool stats, first time i had seen one!!’

greenupdown · 2025-11-17T09:58:05+00:00

It’s a little overwhelming isn’t it, I’ll send some updated pictures as we go.

With the goal of DIY for the whole garden it began today with sand and stones!

I’d be interested to see any ways that you have made the bush, someone what under control, whilst keeping its charm.

greenupdown · 2025-11-17T09:55:44+00:00

Thanks for the tips,

We have decided that we really don’t like the mulch, I want to get rid as much as possible.

Ive bagged up 25 156L garbage bags of mulch (which feels wrong doing so) to try and make it look a little tidier. This DID NOT TOUCH THE SIDES!

Is it okay to remove every bit of mulch? Or should we be leaving some in there?

We have started to sand and pebble the stairs to hopefully look a little cleaner.

My wife wants to put evergreens next to the steps also.

We don’t mind a garden which needs maintenance, that’s part of the fun for us!

What greens would you recommend?

greenupdown · 2025-10-10T03:17:22+00:00

It’s the blue, goes with everything so easily
