User's notes

these are the smallest beetle like larvae I have ever seen. Just looked like a little black ball on the end of the long gum leaf. Using zoom could see a bit better.

At bit small to tell but the one at the very tip of the leaf has some markings that lead me to believe these ar P. atomaria.
