The life cycle of MGCB in the ACT, mostly based on records from ANBG, is not well understood. Adults appear in late spring, the males first. Some may be immigrants but in some years they may emerge from local nests. The females are long lived and collect pollen and nectar to store in cells in their 'nests' that are tunnels in soft wood. No nests have ever been found in ANBG. Observations from Kangaroo Island show that the larvae develop over summer and pupate in autumn and young adults emerge in the nest in winter but do not normally emerge till the following spring. So the appearance of a young adult at this time is a mystery.

My thoughts are Ramaria versatillis var latispora or Clavaria/Clavinulopsis zollingeri. @Heino1 @Heinol ?
Ramaria versatilis

A new flower host. Interesting behaviour among a range of different bee species especially on tubular flowers with deep nectaries such as Correas.
