I didn't see these until I looked at photos I took of other insects on the flowers. I'm guessing they are tiny - hope there is enough for ID

Hi Lisa, these are probably Tapinoma or Doleromyrma, but can't see them well enough to be sure - they are really small! Cheers, Jon

Thank you, Jon - they were minuscule! Next sunny day I'll look carefully amongst the petals . . .
