A bagworm like the one I found the other day, but this time it looks like it's chewing along the scribbly gum's scribbles. Surely this isn't what makes them...
Update: I contacted the CSIRO after reading their fact sheets, and it turns out that this bagworm doesn't actually make the scribbles. From their return email:
(Max Day, CSIRO) Because I am the person who has been trying to understand the scribbly gum moth story, Julie Carter forwarded your email to me. As you said, you have a truly remarkable photo. So I feel sorry to have to say that the bag moth doesn't make the scribble. In fact, the scribble moth larva is very small and tunnels just beneath the epidermal cells of the tree trunk. The scribble only becomes obvious when the bark is shed during the hot months.
We have collected larvae from several species of eucalypts and bred the moths. They are small and inconspicuous. There are a number of specimens in the Australian National Insect Collection in Canberra. Only one of the species has been described, but one of my colleagues plans to describe others when she can find the time.
The bag moths belong to a different family and are much larger.
What is interesting in your photo is that the bag moth larva appears to be feeding on the scribble, something we have never seen before. So I was delighted to see your photo and will now review the Fact Sheet to try to make sure that it doesnt give the wrong impression of how the scribble is formed.
Many thanks to the people at the CSIRO for this update in their research.

Many of the women in “Scribbling Women” had eventful lives. They became friends with cannibals, delivered babies, stole horses, and sailed on whaling ships. Others lived quietly, close to home. But each of them has illuminated the world through her words.
10 tings:
I) Ive got a slight thing for roman numerals
II) I have entered into a sacred pact to never see the movie Titanic & I will go to my grave before its lameness enters my body.
III) me and the reverend Mark (who is jewish) just went to town on chinese food; egg roll, beef & broccoli, 10 ingredient fried rice & soup.. I got half and half egg drop won ton and it was absolutely killer.
IV) I found out tonight that the reverend Mark has also vowed never to see Titanic.
V) I drink more water than you can possibly imagine. through this practice I have developed the metabolism of a water buffalo. I have no factual basis for this statement but I believe it to be true.
VI) I love cranking up the volume & watching 'the walking dead' and scaring the shit out of murph with the surround sound. ok it pretty much scares the shit out of me too. plus zombies are sloppy eaters.
VII) I am semi-obsessive compulsive about a few things, such as brushing my teeth, cleaning the kitchen & the significance of random numbers. (pre LOST, post PI)
VIII) I am addicted to the veggie max sub from subway & even tho its cheap its still pretty fucking horrible that im in NYC eating subway. oh well, I fucking love it.
IX) I really enjoy being sleep deprived. it makes everything feel as ridiculous as it really is. so here I am.
X) coconut water is the truth and my favorite brand 'vita coco' followed me on twitter even though my tweet that coconut water is the truth did not specify a brand. thats some coco-kismet.
cheers, lovas.

Jasmine and I recently found a house together. This is my office, where I plan to write and illustrate for the next 18 months for my upcoming book with Heyday Books. After our visit to John Muir's historic house in Martinez - where we saw the incredible man's "Scribble Den," Jasmine and I have nicknamed this office as my own "Scribble Den." If my book is just 1/1000th of Muir's work, I'll call this a big success.,
