Bonnie suggests for this weeks Photo Art Friday, we use a photo from our archives that never received the attention it deserved. Nature-study was one of my most favourite subjects in primary school years, learning and drawing inside our botany book, maybe various leaf shapes, or insects. Sometimes our teacher would take us on a walk through the bushland near the school, to return with a small collection of treasures to put on display in the classroom.
I'll forever be fascinated with nature, and decided to bring this photo to the fore demonstrating the charming 'drawings' on this Scribbly Gum eucalypt. When the larvae of the Scribbly Gum Moth tunnel under the bark, this is what they create.

Don't the moth larvae kill the tree? Or does the bark come off naturally?
