Scribbles on Eucalyptus haemastoma
Scribbly gums, E. haemastoma.
However, it seems now that Ogmograptis scribula has multiplied into many, many species.... In 2005, scientists discovered that various scribbly gum moths are very choosy in their diet, and that the local larvae (in Canberra) did not scribble on E. haemastoma. Different moths have different scribbles. I haven't yet been able to find the name of the moth which scribbles on this lovely tree. It seems it may not yet be named.
