User's notes

Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting of the covered forage-ways. The abundance value of 1 is to get the upload to work. No Coconut Ants were sighted on the tree or in the open forage-ways.

I think this is more likely the work of termites

Hi Tim, yes, I think I agree with Michael that its termites - it looks like a mud tunnel rather than carton. Cheers, Jon

Yes a covered termite column. Need to open it and photgraph the termites beneath, if any.
