Do you use Faceplant? There is a page for lost/found pets for each departement - posting that picture may at least point someone in the right ish direction.

Thanks, information and photo duly posted. Just hope some one has lost it and that it has not been dumped. Rang the Vet who was no help at all!!!

My resident green tree snake, who lives in the kangaroo vine I have growing along the back fence, is very territorial and a spectacular prima donna and bitch generally. She has several times terrorized me for having the audacity to trim the vine whilst she is present.

I took this picture a year ago or so. I had to pull her out of a hole that I had dug which she had fallen into and couldn't escape. As you can tell, she didn't display any gratitude in light of this merciful act. Being an arboreal snake I have no idea what she was doing on the ground anyway.

Green tree snakes are not venomous and really can't inflict any more damage than a skink, which is lucky for me because she has struck me numerous times over the years. Probably the most aggressive species I get on my patch. The white scales are only visible when they are agitated. They mainly prey on insects and smaller green tree frogs, like the red-eyed tree frog.

I think this is a heath fritillary, but again I'm not 100% certain!

And a Burnet Companion moth - what a great name!

A cinnabar moth, green bug with a really long antennae and a butterfly...I really should know the type, it wouldn't open its wings! All on devils bit scabious.
