User's notes

Many other pollinators sharing these flowers on the Olearia lirata Snowy Daisy Bush. This sighting is for the 2 black beetles on each end of the group of 5 in the centre of the picture, those that do not have an obvious pintail. There could be more of them elsewhere in the daisy flower cluster.
