ABSTRACT
Wildrice (<em>Zizania aquatica</em> L.) pollen is collected and eaten by the bees, <em>Bombus vagans</em> Smith, <em>Dialictus imitatus</em> (Smith), and the syrphid fly, <em>Toxomerus politus</em> (Say) in Maryland. A brief review of the literature on other insects visiting typically wind-pollinated flowers of Poaceae and Cyperaceae is provided.
