They are attacking en masse. Not a pretty sight.

Looks like they're up to no good.

Incredible DOF

Bizarre looking little things! There's enough of them I bet it doesn't take long to strip a whole branch!

Good shot of these little grubs. We have similar here, call them Spitfires, and they cluster around young growth on certain eucalypts.
