Titan Sphinx, an insect worthy of its name

With a hovering deliberate flight, this moth from the Sphingidae family is often misidentified as a hummingbird. Talk about convergent evolution, the Sphinx Titan (Aellopus titan) is also known as the white-banded day sphinx and the white band immediately reminds me of Lophornis hummingbirds, the coquettes.

I wonder what that's all about?
