Noticed this insect excavating this hole in the Stringbark eucalypt from early evening and late in to the night. The next morning couldn't see any action first thing but then at 10.45am this cellophane-like material was sealing her nest. Apparently she can push through the centre to leave or enter!

Thanks Peter, it was very interesting! Wish I'd been able to capture her doing the seal
