Fiery skipper (female)

Hylephila phyleus

Description:

Not sure if this is a skipper or not, but was told in an earlier post the pink flower is a Tall Verbena. I don't know what the purple/blue flower is - any ideas? Can you BELIEVE how long this tongue is?

Habitat:

State Park in suburban Philadelphia, PA USA
