Hyles lineata
A large moth that resembles a hummingbird when in flight. Easy to see where it gets its name with the broad angled lines down its wings and multiple thinner vertical lines across its wings.
Inside my house which is surrounded by a mixed forest near wetlands.
This one flew into our house from our outside porch and one of my daughter's thought it was a hummingbird at first, but realized it was a moth shortly after she said it. The reaction of everyone was: "Get the camera!"
