I STAND CORRECTED

This is a picture of a Sphinx Moth - you will notice it does not look anything like any of the 4 moths previously posted and one mis-identified as a Sphinx moth.  My friend Linda, aka Snobich, notified me of this fact today and provided me with a picture of one.  Actually this moth is more like a hummingbird than a moth - it can hover and has a long "tongue" used to drink the nectar and pollinate the flowers. 
I will have to identify the other 2 moths of the previous post - any help would be appreciated.

Moths are not my forte...
