John, is this insect one from your E. acasta sighting 4502410? Of the 15 seen was it the only one nectaring on H. violacea? Do you have any underside photos of this individual or get a good look at same?

Nectar feeding but probably not pollinating

Owen, different one. I didn't get a view of the underside. This was the only one I saw on H violacea.
