Small guests in the Garden

This beauty visited on my fence one day. I thought it was injured and crept closer. It sat for a few photos and then flew off.
I don't even know what it is. I've never seen one like this before.

Simple beauty!

I love "bumble bees"! They are amazing to watch.
They LOVE the sunflowers!!!

My beautiful little bee friend. This is wild butterfly weed. There are dozens of bees on this at any time.

This visitor just stood there and stared me down.
He seemed to be telling me that I was in HIS garden.
