Collected on Spiraea alba flowers. I know there are already a bunch of these in the guide, but I was surprised to see no images from northern New England. These can be regularly seen during mid-summer on Spiraea, Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), and Staghorn Sumac (Rhus typhina) flowers in Central Maine.
