That appears to be a Sedum 'Autumn Joy'

Not astilbe. Sedum, maybe 'Autumn Joy' but it doesn't look like the one I have so perhaps not.

What a lovely photo! I really like the bold colour of your Autumn Joy, and then that orange-brown butterfly in the middle of it.

The butterfly is a Fritillary, I think.

The butterfly is an Eastern Comma Butterfly - Polygonia comma
I have many in my yard every summer.
