@overalvandaan funny I hadn't noticed how munched that leaf is! that has been eaten on by insects, probably a beetle, rather than a koala who would take the entire leaf :) it looks like it has been worked right down one side then up the other hahaha
@overalvandaan yes we have them too - and they use my rose leaves to make their nests. they do not use eucalyptus leaves as they like thin soft leaves, these leaves are incredibly tough :) Did you know they are not eating the leaves but cut the circle then roll it into a tube and lay their eggs inside? :)
No didn't realise that, interesting! Great cutters they are though these bees, it almost looks like it's done with a machine.
We have a Eucalyptus in our garden, don't know how it came there as it's not really a tree that you see often where we live. We use the fallen bark, when dry, as kindling to light the fire. It smells nice! I've never really have a good look at the eucalyptus leaves though.
