Hi everyone from Melbourne, For the second year in a row, I found this larvae / pupae, each one wrapped within a small bundle of 2cm long little sticks glued together, hanging off the tips of the baytree branches. A number of leaves were chewed, I guess before they hide themselves with the sticks. I haven't seen what they eventually developed into, guess some sort of butterfly or a moth?! This is what it looks like (the lavanda flower is just for the size comparison). Anyone knows what these are, and what I should do to protect the tree? Thanks a lot

heyas ! well i've been interested in wattles for a very long time... but haven't really sunk my teeth into getting anywhere with finding the more interesting cousins of the species... but time has called for me to become interested again... i found a nice one today. it smells awesome too! check it out I know it's quite a big task in actually IDing maidenii's and obtusifolias properly, especially just by looking at a photo. I borrowed a few books from the library to help me so I found this one today in melbourne ... and no I'm not interested in killing this tree, just so you know Anyone got any identification tips tho ? Don't think it's an longofolia, maube some kind of floribunda? also, a part of it's trunk had brown sap running all down it.

especially To the person who wrote about wanting to eat "dirt"

can't remember who you were but you might find this interesting (copied from another forum) t. OK From The Age... Dirt could ease depression April 2, 2007 - 10:54AM People who suffer from depression could benefit from getting dirty, according to new British research. A friendly bacteria found in soil has the same uplifting effects as those produced by anti-depressant drugs. Scientists say Mycobacterium vaccae stimulates the immune system and activates the brain to produce the mood enhancing chemical, seratonin. Dr Chris Lowry says, unless we all start playing in the dirt, researchers now need to find a way of getting the bacteria into people's systems. The study supports the "hygiene hypothesis" - which argues a rise in conditions like asthma and allergies is linked to a lack of exposure to various micro-organisms. The emphasis on cleaning and hygiene, particularly in urban Western environments, could be affecting people's immune systems, according to the theory. -

Hello everyone! I'm sure most of you have heard of the G20 meeting of the heads of the World Bank and IMF, finance ministers and central bank governors that will be taking place in Melbourne this week. I would like to ask you all to find out more and consider going to the rally against their policies of corporate-led domination. Find out more at: www.stopG20.org These are very important issues that influence every aspect of our lives, yet as citizens we have no say in what is decided at the meetings of such groups, and our democratically elected officials have no choice but to comply, which in turn creates an undemocratic global capitalist dictatorship. The rally is our way of speaking out. I hope to see you at the State Library (Swanston street) at 12 noon this Saturday.
