Great pictures Geoffrey.
The "lerp" as I understand it consists of two parts, the small insect (usually pink), and the whitish "house" that it lives under.
Are the Superbs content to eat the sugary cover or do they endeavour to eat the insect too?
In contrast pardalotes seem to look under the cover to eat the insect.
