Bull Thistles and Insects

I was driving along our cabin driveway and noticed some Bull Thistles (Cirsium vulgare) were starting to bloom. I started taking photos of the thistle flowers but found many different insects on the flowers.

A Hummingbird Moth (Hemaris thysbe) hovered within inches of my camera.
