If anybody has any ideas on the ID of this one could you please let me know. It was shuffling along the trunk of a sugar gum in Western Australia.

    LOvely captures Geoff.
    Guessing at #1 being a type of mealy bug if it was pretty small.

    Some of the pics look a bit centered and tight in the frame from the composition POV. Normally works well if you try to give them a bit more room in the direction they are looking.

    Hi Obecanobe, your first shot as Brian already said looks very much like a mealy bug.

    Got yourself a good variety on your shoot.
    Number #3 is an ugly looking dube I must say rolleyes1.gif

    If you didn't know the first shot was taken on a tree,
    you'd swear it was some sort of Starfish.

    Great Shots clap.gif ... Skippy :D
