Hard to tell at this stage, when the inflorescences are disintegrating and dispersing, what the species is.

Typha sp.

Hi Maren, Any apple tree is likely to have both BT Possums and Black/Roof/Ship Rats in it and could also have visits from Grey Headed Flying Foxes. I cant guess the scale here (which matters a lot in this case) but they look like rat droppings. So I have not confirmed your sighting, yet. The key question is how big are those scats?

Trichosurus vulpecula

Thanks - I'll put them in with the caterpillar. I think it's starting to build a cocoon.

Papilio aegeus

Thanks for that Alison. I'm always wary assigning eggs to species for these from photos unless folks have actually seen them laid as have seen both P. aegeus and P. anactus on the same plant.

@owenh @Maren I can confirm that the white dots are eggs. I get them on my citrus all the time.
