Pollinating and Procreating...

This bee was having a lovely time in my butterfly garden...
 


So were these plume moths...
 
 
Until the bee got too close...
 
 
And they sent it on its way.
 
 
Yesterday was the first time I ever saw a  plume moth. I was watering the garden and wished I had my camera with me to capture it. I was delighted to come across two of them while trying to photograph the bee. Looks like I will be seeing more of them in the future : )

    Best. Macros. Ever. I'd love to know what lens you used.

    And foxtail lily was the consensus on my blog. Thank you for helping to identify!
