Scribbly Gum Moth tracks.
"Decoration" on the Scribbly Gum made by the larva of the Scribbly Gum Moth (Ogmograptis scribula)
The patterns of a "scribbly gum" (Eucalyptus haemastoma), caused by insect larvae burrowing beneath the bark. As the tree loses its bark in summer, newer scribbles appear on the lighter-coloured fresh bark on the left in this image.

A flash of blue lights up the dull and turbid reefs of Darwin Harbour. Darting between rock ledges and Acropora corals, it is the Scribbled Angelfish (Chaetodontoplus duboulayi).
The Scribbled Angelfish, like all marine angelfish, begins its life as female. Females (bottom) have random yellow scribbles and dots along their body. When they become the most dominant in their social group or patch of reef, they will change sex into a male! When they are males their scribbles then become more uniform horizontal lines and an electric blue colour (top). This makes them a protogynous hermaphrodite and is actually quite a common trait in the ocean!
This beautiful fish has become sought after by aquarium keepers worldwide and I'm sure you can understand why!
*For the sake of transparency and not to encourage anyone to enter Darwin Harbour, these fish are captured on low-tides and photographed in a field tank before being released. Please be crocodile-safe! You can have a less dangerous swim with these fish in areas of WA and QLD!
Hello my Flickr friends. Sorry I have not been around lately to view your streams - combination of not feeling well, busy with work etc etc. Have missed the inspiration your work gives me. Look forward to catching up with all your streams over the next few days/weeks...
I saw over 200 species whilst snorkelling in the Maldives - no, I'm not going to post them all you'll be pleased to hear, but I do rather like this one, I think it makes for a nice image and I hadn't seen it before. Apparently it can change its background colour like an octopus.
Scribbly Gum.
The Scribbly Gum, is an Australian eucalypt that is named after the "scribbles" on its bark. These zigzag tracks are tunnels made by the larvae of the scribbly gum moth (Ogmograptis scribula).

I had a hard time carving out time for Macro Mondays this week but I hate missing one. This is a calligraphy pen and a current shot of a sample I did years ago.
