How's about an accidental pollinator? Crab spider on a coneflower, K-5II & DFA 100 f2.8 WR Macro.

Nice find! Although fairly stationary she may move to another flower and do some pollination! :-)
Best.

This Tall Verbena we planted is a favorite with many pollinators.

Nice shot. Looks like Agapostemon virescence. There may be some others out where you are, have a look.

Interesting moth, shouldn't be too hard to identify!
