User's notes

I thought there were 5 littleri on this banksia flower but the middle bee seems to be a ring in, I have over exposed in editing and it doesn't seem to be shadow it does seem to be a black bee or small wasp.

I agree. The fifth bee is probably another Hylaeus species but it could be a euryglossine such as Euhesma banksia.
