Maybe a hummingbird moth? It was almost 2" long.
Pic taken in darkness so the focus could be better. :S

I caught a humming bird moth when I was a boy. When I held it, it began to lay eggs and they had little parachutes attached and they blew away with the breeze. Wow! 8O I will never forget that, it was surreal.

The focus looks good to my eye! Nice photo of a neat moth!
