Field Notes

Description:

Small circular 'things' attached to the leaves of a lime tree out in the forest. The Weaver ants are trying to prise them off I think.

Habitat:

Citrus latifolia - Lime tree in the forest

Notes:

I thought perhaps they were Tortoise Beetles as this is very close to the location where I spotted one last week
