Comment

Pultenaea pedunculata is widely distributed in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia where it often colonises disturbed sites such as road verges and embankments.

Thanks Col and Steve,

 

You can tell the "bug" is alive and well as it appears in different positions on the three images. I always enjoy finding things like that when I look at the finished images. Sometimes I see ants pushing through the floral undergrowth shaking things up. We have ants everywhere down under, they are always attracted to nectar. I often wonder, if nectar is such a strong attractant for insects, why we worry about the effect or otherwise of the UV markings.
