A few odds and ends.

For a start, something new, found on the Eucalyptus parramattensis.

Identification was found on Inat, they are the calcareous homes of tube spittlebug nymphs, family Machaerotidae. The tubes are composed of 75% calcium carbonate extracted from the xylem fluid on which they feed. The nymphs live in the tubes immersed in a rather clear fluid which they excrete.

Spiders are still very scarce, two Tamopsis were spotted on one of the Brittle Gums on which they endeavour to be invisible..

A couple of Holoplatys were also found on pine posts with plenty of hiding cracks.

With a meal.
