  melissodes1.jpg - Megachilid Bee, possibly Anthidium maculifrons, Lake Placid Florida.  Megachilids do not include "sweat bees" but it appeared this one was licking something off my clothing.  This genus is also referred to as a Wool Carder Bee, so possibly it was gathering material for its nest.
