Nice shot. Always a pleasure seeing insects from other continents. This clearwing hawk moth looks a lot like some of ours here in North America but is greener on the back.

One beautiful capture. I wonder are these creatures also referred to as a: "Hummingbird Moth?". Thanks for sharing.

I agree with the previous comments. It does look highly similar go hummingbird moths that I've photographed here. Nice colors.
