Flowers with long tubular corollas, like those of this honeysuckle (Lonicera implexa), are a favorite target of the violet carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea). Although repeated piercings for gaining access to the nectar eventually damage most of the flowers, they can still carry out some pollination
