Remember that colorful caterpillar that Audrey was babysitting on my kitchen counter in May? It grew up into one of these - a sphinx moth. Because moths don't make very good housepets, Audrey released hers into the wide world after its change. I used to imagine that this one sipping a petunia julep on my back patio was the very one Audrey let fly, but she informs me that hers was a white-lined sphinx moth, while my visitor is clearly a different variety. Well, duh!

I've seen these moths before. At first I thought they were a type of humming bird, they are so huge. Did you photoshop the background to make it black?
