Corrections and/or species info would be highly appreciated! Many of these beetles were present on flowers of Leptosiphon croceus, a highly endangered plant. Information about it's pollinators may prove helpful in conservation efforts. (It may be pollinated by this beetle as well as other insects, e.g. various local bees...possibly anthophorids?)
