Perhaps from some sort of damage sustained in early tadpole development? Not sure if it's from damage or birth defect.

I raised these frogs from tadpoles, but they still croak like they're wild. I gave them lessons myself. That aspect is rather audibly apparent in their accent lol

Walking miles from one mountain top, to another, to another! Took the long way through the thick woods too hoping I'd see the bears and fisher cats again. Lots of animals out here! Beautiful brisk windy day, excellent for a long grueling hike and rock walk.

While the following range data is inaccurate, as they have always been native to Maine, Below is information sourced from Wikipedia;
Dasymutilla occidentalis (red velvet ant, eastern velvet ant, cow ant or cow killer) is a species of parasitoid wasp native to the eastern United States. It is commonly mistaken for a member of the true ant family, as the female is wingless. The species ranges from Connecticut to Kansas in the north and Florida to Texas in the south.

Given the plentiful resources I leave available 24/7 for the bees and wasps, it's not very common to see them sharing at this location. I'm guessing it has more to do with this particular bee having a rough day at work and just needing some social activity, rather than actually needing a drink. Awfully endearing little buggers.

Saved em' from a sad ending. Hundreds of toad tadpoles! I'll hold on to them for a little while and give them a good headstart, then find them a good safe areal flood pool to finish developing.
