A medium-sized native, possibly Halictinae, laden with Aotus pollen

Lipotriches (Austronomia) australica are medium-sized, ground-nesting bees. This female was one of several bees species collecting pollen and nectar from Aotus flowers.

Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) sp. (probably), concentrating nectar by bubbling to evaporate excess water.

Lasioglossum (probably). I was photographing this flower when a photo-bombing bee arrived. She vigorously ‘buzzed’ the anthers and was soon covered in pollen.
