Actually Kylie in a citizen science naturemapr assisted study of Canberra's pollinators we found that 79% of the recorded flower visitations by the European bee were on exotic flowers. But I don't want to sing their virtue as the European bees was a major pollinator of several weed species including Echium species (53% of all recorded visitations on this genus), Spear Thistle (Cirsium vulgare - 50%), St John’s Wort Hypericum perforatum - 30%) and the Dandelion Group (17%).

In my experience Glyphips tend to stay near the ground. Macrobathra desmotoma tends to hang around wattles as the larva feed on them.

wow. didn't know that. TY Wendy. Once it flew it was pretty easy to see even though it was small. In the field it reminded me of this moth Macrobathra desmotoma ( A Cosmet moth) but now I can compare I can see they are different!
