Thanks, very interested in establishing diet of Gang Gang - this looks like nuts from a Red Stringybark tree - was it a stringybark trunk?

Hi Michael, I believe Red Stringybark gumnuts are a good food source for them, as it is one of the main things I've noted them eating at my place, as well as Perga (Sawfly) larvae when they are around.

I can't be 100% sure, but I think it was a stringybark trunk. 95% of the trees in the area were.
