Burnt Scribbly gum bark
The 'scribbles' on the bark of this tree 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. The tree captured in this photograph was recovering from fire, which makes its bark particularly bright and colourful.
