Some animals are pollinators, and some are pollen-eaters. This buprestid beetle (Acmaedora tuta) is a bit of both. Yes, it will eat its fill of this dusty maiden's (Chaenactis douglasii) nutrient-rich pollen, but in the process it will inadvertently transport a few pollen grains to the next flower it visits. If that blossom happens to bear female dusty maiden flowers, then voila--the pollen-eater is a pollinator.
