none Faecal pellets of koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus Goldfuss) near Springsure were collected to determine the insects responsible for observed damage and decomposition. A beetle, Ptinus sp. (Anobiidae), and two moths, Argyrotoxa pompica Turner (Tortricidae) and Blastobasis sp. (Blastobasidae), were bred from the pellets. Four species of parasitic wasps, Pycnobracon sp., Choeras sp. (Braconidae), Diaulomorpha sp. (Eulophidae) and a pteromalid (Pteromalinae) were also recovered.
