I have been looking at the flowers of this specimen for the last 2 years without seeing anything visiting! But did the sepsid get inside? Tetrathecas are in the same family with hanging bell flowers and are very occasionally visited by bees. One sighting in 5 years!

Yes, it did, along with hundreds of Plague Soldier Beetles, so you can add them to the list too
