Moths are very significant pollinators, given their diversity and abundance.

@RogerF looks like it's Cynoglossum australe (Australian Forget-me-not) - Cynoglossum australe

Correct. Its C. suavolens that has been moved to Hackelia. I have a colony of australe in the garden but have never observed a visitor. Do you know its seeds can actively burrow into socks and can only be removed with most of the sock still adhering. It would be intersting to compile a list of what species Glyphipteryx visits.
