That was fascinating reading. The plant runs a tight schedule for getting it's flowers pollinated.
As you suggested the bugs seen in the photograph are one of the miridae only here for a free meal.
One of the Scarab species arrives after dark to carry out the serious sexual activities.
I would have to use ladders and rig up lights to watch the high jinks after dusk so I will leave them in peace.
Very many thanks for the info. I will take pictures in the morning to see the changes.
