User's notes

This tiny insect was seen on Hardenbergia violacea flowers. It was approximately 2mm long, with distinct antennae, quite large relative to its body size. The wings were translucent, and folded flat and overlapping over its abdomen. Possibly a native micro bee species. It was quite difficult to see and photograph.
