Another busy day

A pollinator's work never ends I sat and watched the antics at the buddleia for at least a half hour today- and sitting for that long is quite unusual for me. It really was fascinating as the moth would take off and fly about 5 feet away and then  head right back to the bush.. every time. It was almost like it said " well my work is done here , I will fly off and find another flower", got a few feet away and said "wait!  I smell nectar nearby!" and went right back. Forgive me if I am rambling I want to go to sleep but the blueberries haven't finished dehydrating yet.
There were 3 different types of bees- bumbles, mason bees and a lone honeybee, a silver spotted skipper and 2 flame ( I think) skippers ,plus the female hummer stopped by briefly before whizzing off. of course I had the camera in my lap and as soon as I picked it up- you ca guess what happened next.
The extra is one of the bees and a dragonfly that also stopped by, though I think he was looking for  a lunch with more protein.
