User's notes
The ants were constantly touching the other two insects, which look like bits of bark but were moving around.
Does CNM want two sightings when there are two animals in the one photo?

Perhaps tha case moths were exuding moisture or 'nectar' attracting the ants. It would be interesting to investigate this further.
