Perhaps being seduced into attempting to mate with the Pultenaea procumbens flowers

While there are many published names for Exoneura species, it is unclear how many would be supported by a modern revision of the taxonomy. Until a new study is undertaken, it is better to specify only the genus, or genus plus subgenus if the wing venation is clearly visible.
