Humming Bird Hawk Moth

At last! A notable moth in my garden. Susan, Laura and I were out having a barbecue this evening and watching all the silver-Ys on the lavender when we noticed a moth acting differently, hovering, with a flash of orange and with white bits on the tail- humming bird hawk moth. I tried to catch it unsuccessfully, hopefully it will come back.
