A Hornet clearwing moth on the chuckleypear in our back yard. They look like gigantic hornets; this one was maybe three cm long, and with a wingspan of about four cm. But they are just moths. Their preferred trees are apparently poplars and our chuckleypears are growing under a bunch of poplars. Maybe this moth was a little confused.
