Hummingbird moth

Check out this hummingbird moth that I noticed in a downtown garden a couple of days ago. The first time I saw a moth like this I was certain it was a hummingbird. A friend had to convince me otherwise, after which I was decidedly grossed out. I was born in northern Wisconsin and raised in the Philippines, both of which are insect purgatory, so I'm not generally bothered by bugs. But moths, for some reason, really creep me out! Especially big ones. Hummingbird moths are no exception. Those beady little eyes give me the willies! Yuck!
