Field Notes

Description:

On the trunk of a large Corymbia maculata these ants were working into a patch of white fuzzy material partially embedded under the bark and exposed at a fissure. Ants were about 8mm long.

Habitat:

In a local nature reserve adjoining a national park.

Notes:

Yet to search for species of ant... white fuzz might be a slime mold but it's strange that it would be buried within the bark and not simply on the outer surface.
