gvallee Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Don't know but you could ask AWC (Australian Wildlife Conservancy) https://www.australianwildlife.org/ They should know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Dave Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Looks a bit like M03PAD ants' nests ...but i'm not an expert at all. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Lowe Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Fascinating - the things I learn on the Alamy forum. I'd never heard of these before - it is a Mulga Ant's nest. They build a levee around the entrance of the nest to prevent flooding and the twigs are to prevent erosion. Clever little critters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size of those holes makes them not so little critters. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
