User's notes
Whilst taking macro images of Gluegun Termites at the ANBG an Echidna foraging nearby decided to snack on my photographic subject, as seen in these images. That’s the first time I’ve had my photographic subject eaten in front of me. The Echidna wasn’t at all bothered by the camera flash or closeness of the macro lens. Images of the Echidna are shown in a previous sighting 4233513. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting of the Echidna.
