Re sharing Kobra's lovely video. We have hummingbird moths all over our rural property in Gause, TX (central TX). They fly up off the wild bee balm (spotted monarda), wild coneflowers and thistles when we drive through this one patch of pasture coming onto or off of the property. I plan to try to be on foot and get a good photo one of these days. As we drive through their "territory" they fly up and over the car hood and onto the windshield. I Googled images and some of these things are really quite colorful and pretty, but the ones we have down there are mostly grey/tan and not too colorful. But charming to have them pollinating wildflowers just the same.
