Some critters from today...

Took these whilst walking across some scrubland near my home today.
Anyone know what this is? I have never seen one of these before, if it helps with ID it was taken just west of Houston, Texas

Wow, thanks. When I saw it I was thinking hummingbird, but then of course it is an insect. Never even heard of a hummingbird moth before

Thanks again

We have Sphinx Moths in California - similar to those - they're pretty amazing. The butterfly is a buckeye of some sort. And lastly, that is a grasshopper.
