Cephonodes hylas hylas
wingspan of 45–73 mm, 1.25 inches long, daytime flying, it moves from flower to flower like a flash, hovering for a second to sip nectar. Hard to see the details while it is flying, it's just a blur...

Ahha, that maybe who's eating my Gardenia !
thank you triggsturner. These are fun to watch in the garden, one can hardly follow them with the eyes, they move so fast.
Nice spotting Pam! This is also called Coffee Clearwing or Coffee Bee Hawkmoth : http://tpittaway.tripod.com/china/c_hyl....
