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

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!
