In the full sequence of four photos (taken on a mobile), where it was only the female Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) on the Poached Egg Daisy (Polycalymma stuartii), the male sudden flew in, did it’s thing and then flew off. The four photos, from the 1st to the 4th photo showed a time stamp of 28 October 2023, 1:58:56 AM on each photo. This meant that the deed took less then a second 😃 (you can see the sequence below).
