    HAHA! I think you just inadvertantly answered a question for me Dan.
    I have noticed little bundles of tiny twigs, all neatly aligned,
    adhered to various gum trees on my 60 acre property and wondered what
    they were.....I knew they were some sort of 'home', probably
    temporary as I have found them uninhabited mostly!! There we are,
    must look 'em up and see what else I can find out about them!!
    Thanks....
