In the garden two Leptospermums are in full flower, Leptospermum rotundifolium, and Leptospermum Rhiannon, which is a rotundifolium/spectabile hybrid, and they are being visited by many insects seeking nectar. At night, moths are enthusiastic visitors, mainly Helicoverpa punctigera, though also noted, Sandava scitisignata.
And Persectania ewingii
The Helicoverpa were frustrating to photograph, taking flight mid snap even with manual settings and 1/200th/sec shutter speed. Persistence paid off eventually and one was photographed from the rear before it turned and faced the camera.
Moths are of course absent in the daylight with their place taken by the occasional butterfly, like this Common Grass Blue, Zizina labradus.
