I have fond memories of the eucalyptus trees in southern California, where I lived as a little kid.

I love this little scribbly gum moth - what a fun thing to see on trees. Good that the scribbly gum moth is already named - nowadays they might be called graffiti moths! ;)HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-20243083816968454242013-04-11T22:54:40.195+10:002013-04-11T22:54:40.195+10:00Really interesting post Catmint, love the patterns...Really interesting post Catmint, love the patterns created by the moth, very artistic!
