This small bat lives in forests of eastern and north-eastern Australia and feeds on flower nectar and pollen. It may land on blossoms or hover in front of them while feeding.
Its upper fur ranges from fawn to reddish-brown, with a paler underside. It has a long, narrow face, large eyes, and a very long, thin tongue with a brush-like tip.
It feeds on nectar and pollen from blossoms such as bottlebrush, paperbark, banksia, and gum trees. It may land on flowers or hover in front of them, and roosts alone in dense foliage beneath the canopy.
