THE MYSTERIOUS STING

 What next -an asteroid bombardment  ? Unripe citrus fruit has been mysteriously falling from trees day and night without Cockies  and other  critters  seemingly responsible . During the night, occasional plops were heard -more  mandarins  dropping to the ground . A man of immense knowledge, including the double life  of  a judge  who  figured in a famous bushranger  case , was asked  if  he knew  why vitamin C  is  dropping from the sky  in  North  Queensland . Yes -the fruit is being stung by a moth!!!! Our Mastermind  informant   said  the ground under his  lime trees  is covered   with  fruit  that  has  been  stung .


Sure enough,when the outside light was turned on large numbers of  striped moths were seen  making  raids on the fruit, under the netting , a millet  broom used to  dong some . Five buckets of fruit binned so far .  Computer could  be under  moth attack as  well  as we are having problems with text.
