User's notes
Half a dozen males patrolling one particular Winged Everlasting Daisy plant among a number of daisies. The males would find a daisy and perch there, fanning their wings furiously. The entertaining part was every now and then, one bee would crash tackle another, and they often both fell off the flower in the tussle.

I have been advised this is a type of Hylaeus (Gnathoprosopis), but I'm not sure on the species - I meant to just select Hylaeus (Gnathoprosopis) sp.
