Ethmostigmus rubripes (Australia)

Thought I’d just share a few pics of my juvenile E.rubripes I found in my backyard located South East Queensland. This species is the largest in Australia and would be considered a giant centipede as they can easily exceed 20cm plus. In my location we get 2 different colour forms, the one you see here and a tiger form which is yellow/orange banded. It’s actually amazing the colour forms this species comes in. There must be at least 30 different variations of this one species. They can be a real beast of a Centipede.

My parcel collect was at the post office but I didn’t receive a notification.

I use the “parcel collect” option on the Aus post app as I find it can get my parcels a day earlier as the app notifies you when the delivery arrives at the chosen post office to collect from. I had a really important delivery and it was supposed to show up today I was spewing I didn’t receive any notification that it had arrived as I always do. Ended up going to the post office to get cash out and as I was leaving she handed me the parcel as they know who I am. Then I got notified that it had arrived. Is it possible that it literally just showed up as I was leaving? I never saw any delivery truck come in the post office. Was it a case of the parcel not getting scanned? I’m just interested in knowing how it works incase it happens again.

Can parcel collects arrive on Saturday?

Say an an express post was sent Thursday but due to delays it didn’t show up Friday. Can the delivery show up at a post office that is open on Saturday mornings?

Yes before I get lectured I take full accountability for my own financial circumstances. I run a small business, don’t receive any government assistance of any kind, no concessions, I don’t go out, drink, I’m a husband and father. With all the added expenses of rent, bills, food I literally have no money right now to renew my car rego. This is really embarrassing but we just cannot keep up anymore, it’s like the hole gets deeper and I’m trying my best to stay above water but I’m struggling now. What options do I have? Is there any help out there? I’m past the point paying monthly because it’s already 2 days overdue so I can’t even drive. It just caught up on me, and yeah it’s my fault. But man, it snuck up on me. I’ve never been in this position before where I can’t afford rego. I’m really sick to death of doing the right thing and getting nowhere. And all a sudden I’m made into a criminal if I use my car that I’ve paid on time every damn year. Honestly I’m just deflated at this point trying to survive in Australia.

I don’t know how much more of this shit I can take.
