Insects in Eremophila Scoparia

A stand of flowering Eremophila scoparia (Broombush) in Parachilna Gorge was teeming with insect life in spring.

Some Eremophilas have long slender flowers for birds, and others have rounded cup shaped flowers for insects. Scoparia is the perfect size for a European honey bee.
