Photo Details
Poster: Lee Duer  (see this users gallery)

I was surprised to see these two sharing the same flower and feeding so close together. The small butterfly s a "Red-banded Hairstreak" and the other is a "Hummingbird Clearwing" (I think). It's a very common moth in our area and it's not unusual to see 7 or 8 on our butterfly bush at the same time.

Those hummingbird moths are cool---thanks for naming the butterfly--I have shot lots of pictures of them but didn't know their name!
