Was checking out my aviaries and being pummelled by a Wagtail.

Acrobat Ant (Crematogaster laeviuscula) workers tend Sugarcane Aphids (Melanaphis sacchari) for their honeydew.

Observed in Wollongong Botanic Gardens by many people over a period of days.

I happened to look up from searching for insects and found these five looking down at me. Presumably a family group.
