This is a White-lined Sphinx Moth

 

 

I think.


 

That would be a kind of Hummingbird Moth; they feed on nectar.  They fly and hover just like a hummingbird, but they’re much smaller.

 

It was there, wedged between the door and the door frame of the Jeep when I opened the door in the morning.  He was very tolerant of our activity while we got stuff in and out of the car.  I had to scare him off on purpose before I could close the door for fear of smushing him.
