We have 15 species here in Arizona, more than any other state. I
regularly see Ruby Throat and Broadtails in my garden, and I've planted lots of
shrubs that they like.

Red, yes. I watched a male Broadtail try to feed from a New Mexico
Thistle in my front yard once. He would poke at it repeatedly, get nothing in
return, then perch on a nearby branch and cuss at it. Kept at it for an hour
or more.

Try using a strobe in a shaded area.
