Can you tell the name of the flower it was visiting. I was looking at the Plectranthus today along the rainforest gully but no signs yet of BBB.

Hi Roger, It was on the Pandorea jasminoides plant just near the entrance to the Red Centre.

Thanks, I had a bit of trouble recognising the flower but I know that plant. I am collecting some data on the species of plant visited in ANBG for a range of insect flower visitors.
