Scribbly gum bark 3

Near Fitzroy Falls, New South Wales, Australia

 

The 'scribbles' on the bark of these trees are made by the larvae of tiny moths, which burrow under the bark. Like many eucalypts, scribbly gums lose their old bark each year, and when they do so the trails of the larvae can be seen.
