Fantastic! You might want to rethink your ID though. I'm not familiar with Macroglossum stellatarum, but it appears to be much more grayish brown than the moth you spotted, which is more green with clear wings. Perhaps it could be Cephonodes hylas? Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

Great shot. Those butterflies are so hard to get on photo. Incredibly fast. We don't have this particular kind where I live, we we do have the hummingbirdmoth. But this is a wonderful photo. Posted 6 years ago
