@HelenCross this looks like one of our little native stingless bees. I still can’t tell the difference between Austroplebia sp. & Tetragonula sp. and it appears NT has both😊

Thanks Di, I haven't encountered them before!

@HelenCross I’ve only ever seen the Austroplebia sp. at my place. I’ve never seen Tetragonula sp. first hand and can’t work out the difference in photos (though I must say, I’ve also never spent a great deal of time trying to)🙃💚
