Two blades of Lomandra grass (?) had what appeared to be a mass of hairs caught on the underside. Closer inspection showed these to be scale insects which produced very long and fine strands of scale as group protection. This sighting shows the insects on one blade. The scale insects on the second blade are shown in following sighting 4505661. Thanks to Barbara for help with this sighting.
