Beautiful flower, awesome moth critter ... looks also like it could be a just out of cocoon Hawkmoth. (Interesting crab spider hanging out half under the cone.)
Lots going on in your garden!
And, yes, best of luck on the Nebulas --- win or no win, hope you have fun.
Lovely photo! I have a particular though inexplicable fondness for skippers. I'm terrible at identifying them, though. I can confidently ID the silver-spotted skipper, and the rest of the ones I've seen are small, orange-and-brown, and very good at not holding still for long enough for me to get a good look.
