Thamnolia vermicularis, a lichen that occurs at higher altitudes in Australia. Found in many parts of the world, either at higher altitudes or at low altitudes (but then at high latitudes). In the ACT, it is known from a number of sites, more or less along the western border.

Hi Greg. I copied the 1st image, rotated it, then added it back onto the sighting, so I could use in our sample images for this species.
