User's notes
The images show a chaotic mix of Gumtree Hoppers and attending ants. To the left of each image is a tiny metallic wasp waiting patiently to sneak up to a hopper to access its sugary excretions. The final image shows the wasp at a Hopper. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.
