What kind of camera are you using to get those photo's? They are very nice, especially to be motion.
I have never heard of a hummingbird moth.

The hummingbird moth has the happy situation of resembling a bumble bee, even with the rapid wing movement. The resemblance probably keeps a number of potential predators away.
