Hi @DonFletcher . Good question. How confident am I? I would say ‘not very’ and less so given your comment about the number in the region. I think sugar(Krefft's)/squirrel gliders are difficult to ID through photographs, particularly casual photographs (i.e. not photographing particular ID features). I agreed with the ID partly through “gestalt” - its size, large ears, bushy tail at the base, colouration. The CarbonAI ID might have pushed me in one direction.

Given this interesting observation, I think a few further questions for @Dron might help.

@Dron can you please provide some further details.

1. Can you give some dimensions for the trap. Length, width, height.
2. Did you notice anything about the tail. Length relative to body, colouration (particulalry at the tip), width at the body.
3. Colour of the underside of the animal.

Best wishes,
Martin

Hi @poida84. Just checking to see if you would like to provide a name (maybe Divine?!) for this flossy?

I was surprised to see the fern in this place. It is in a small gully, but it appears generally a drier area and as the map shows, there is not much shade. Blechnum nudum is used as a garden plant and this spot is only a few hundred meters from adjacent suburbs. I assume spores could easily travel that far in a breeze.
