Hylaeus (Prosopisteron) … an extremely tiny bee, just 3-4mm long. She releases pollen from this Hibbertia by vibrating the anthers. Like other members of the family Colletidae, she transports pollen by swallowing it (rather than carrying it on her legs or body).

Hylaeus. Wahlenbergia flowers are a favourite haunt of small masked bees. This one would hunker down in the bell of the flower, periodically emerging (as in the cover photo) to posture, groom or sun itself. I presume it’s a male on the lookout for a mate.
