Friendly moth

I thought I'd share a couple photos of a moth I normally see at dusk during the early spring months and autumn. Today it decided to stop by in the middle of the day. I am not sure what kind of moth it is but it is big! It's wing span is probably close to 4" across, the first time I saw it I thought it was a humming bird! Anyways, just thought I'd share my little garden friend for others to enjoy.
