Well, you can see where they have been. The day was sunny after rain, the bark of the E. rossii new.

Hi Michael M
The following reference indicates there are a number of species in Ogmograptis:
https://theconversation.com/unravelling-the-mystery-of-eucalypt-scribbles-11023
"Ogmograptis comprises many species in three groups, with the biology known only for those making scribbles on smooth-barked eucalypts. We described 11 new species."
So I suggest we change the name to Ogmograptis sp. (genus)

Thanks Michael
Perhaps the scribblers on E. rossii and other local writing boards such as the E. pauciflora are different species?

There are at least two Scribbly gum moth larvae responsible for markings on Eucalyptus rossii, see https://csiropedia.csiro.au/scribbly-gum-moths/ , so maybe there is another on different eucalypts.
