Hummingbird moth

Back

Me and my sisters saw this insect the other day, and as you can see it looks like a mix between a humming bird and a moth.

Does anybody know what it's called?

EDIT:

Apparently, it is called a hummingbird hawk moth. You learn something new every day

I saw these nightly during the summer up in the northern panhandle of Texas. They loved the flowers in my front yard garden. Thanks for uploading this, I had no idea what they were really called.
