Brithys crini and Spodoptera picta

Lots happening in the garden - more rain yesterday.  Made a little bit of progress in the old dam site and have had some road base delivered for making the tracks.

I noticed this  beautifully coloured caterpillar on the Zephyranthes yesterday. It is a Brithys crini -  they also feed on Hippeastrum, Crocus and Crinum. The adult is a fairly nondescript moth.

Some of the Lomandra are flowering:

Lomandra longifolia

The Eugenia jambos ( rose apple) has almost finished flowering - this
is the last flower and there is quite a lot of fruit developing. It is a nice fruit
to eat when ripe.

Native bramble or raspberry (Rubus rosifolius)- the fruit is ok as long as it is really ripe.  I have this planted on the other side of the Mine site/root cellar to the water sluice that I have been working on lately.

Swamp lilly - looking ok so far, but in a month or so, it will be a sad specimen. Although it is a Crinum as far as I can determine ( I have never really looked) it is eaten by a different caterpillar - Spodoptera picta.
I found some of these caterpillars yesterday in a growbed munching on some spring onions.
