I'm surprised by how much like a hummingbird it actually looks. It must be the color scheme and proboscis.

I think they are probably more prevalent along the east of the country.

Maybe the best close-up I have seen of a Hawk Moth. They are VERY hard to shoot and you've done very well in this shot. Excellent sharpness (in my opinion), coulours and light.

I have never seen an insect like this! How unique! And I think the shot turned out great! I'm fond of the angle.
