What is it? I don't know. It's certainly not as lovely as a butterfly and goodness knows the 'Casa Blanca' lily deserves better. But it doesn't mind. A pollinator is a pollinator. Once you start taking pictures in your garden, you'll be amazed at the diversity that lives there. It's kind of a good feeling that you've created a home, or at least a fast food stop, for so many insects.
