User's notes
Coconut ants attending a variety of different insects. All on the same wattle, but taken at different times. Image 1 taken 7 Dec, images 2 and 3 on 26 Nov, and images 4 and 5 on 20 Nov.
The first image shows insects under a carton clump, as in sighting 4244510, but it seems to be a different species.
