Do you think it was feeding on pollen or nectar at the euc flower?

No it didn’t seem to be feeding just running around quite rapidly over and around the flowers. I saw they are supposed to live on dead gum leaves possibly feeding on fungus. The Euc it was on is very healthy, no dead leaves, very little scale etc
