This is a White-Lined Sphinx Moth (Hyles lineata). This moth is also known as a Hummingbird Moth.
This video was shot right around dusk, the time of the day that these moths are known to emerge for feeding, that is why the video is darker. This video was shot on Aug. 16, 2010 in Perham, Minnesota.
Nicotiana is best pollinated by sphinx moths.
