Melitta americana, F, Face, North Carolina, Moore County_2014-01-02-164331 ZS PMax_11957388063_o Cranberry Specialist. This very uncommon bog loving species was collected in the Sandhills of North Carolina where it was captured by Heather Campbell and feeds its babies the pollen from wild cranberries and its relatives. You can even see some of the pollen on the top of its head and on its legs.
