A plain but pretty iridescent gray item about an inch long feeding on sedum flowers.

This appears to be a yellow-collared scape moth, Cisseps fulvicollis (Lepidoptera: Erebidae; subfamily Arctiinae) - see http://tinyurl.com/35spbv7 for an image. A very similar appearing species in the same subfamily is the Virginia ctenucha, Ctenucha virginica - see http://tinyurl.com/24eflv7 for an image.
