Garden visitors from this week

We have been getting some beautiful visitors to our house the last couple of weeks. We've also had a hummingbird, but i didn't get the camera in time. The poor yellow one, has a torn wing :(
Then there is this little moth critter thing pictured below. anyone know what it is? and of course 1 of our 2 frequenting monarchs.
