Pandanus sidetrack.


Just as I was going down the track this morning, I noticed the Pandanus near the pottery had lots of dead leaves on it, so I decided to clear them away and started pulling them into a heap under the tree. Simultaneously a horde of little red ant dropped out into my hair, down my shirt and crawled up and bit my arms. Now they are red wealts. I wonder if this is an ant or the Jamilya Bug which is devastating coastal pandanus trees. Also noted the turkeys or bandicoots have feasted on the Taro patch as its dried up after the rain. The joys of living in the rainforest.
