Maybe a Silver Spotted Skipper? It might not seem like it, but I believe I'm learning a little bit from you guys (and gals).

Monarch enjoying my favorite Phlox. This particular species or cultivar has small flowers in dense, compact heads and is irresistible to a great many butterflies large and small. Skippers and Swallowtail enjoy it most, as does the Monarch :)

Here is a picture of my cilantro blooming earlier this year with a small bee on it. There were several different kind of bees visiting the flowers. I hope someone can identify this one, I had to blow up this picture quite a bit.

The adult is a fairly plain-looking brown moth, but these Turbulent Phosphila caterpillars are stunning larvae. Now is the time to find them--they're greenbrier feeders, so keep your eyes peeled off you have any greenbrier around.
