It seems that the flowers are bee, moth and butterfly pollinated. Then there's also a butterfly larvae that feeds on the leaves of all crassulaceae

Yes, I've had that little grub tunneling in my plants. It has a particular taste for Echeveria. Interesting, because Echeveria are not Native but the native insects recognise them as edible
Here's the culprit

Pollinates one species, feeds off another. I hope that you don't kill them
I stopped after I learned that it was a butterfly larvae. Not a pest that will decimate the plants all although they have occasionally been quite destructive
They are not on the same level as slugs and snails, that's for sure. The tunnelling is weird but ok
