Yup, it's a hummingbird clearwing moth (Hemaris thysbe). They really like those wild bergamot; it's around those flowers that I've gotten every photo I've ever taken of that species of moth.

Hummingbird moth. You may not want them around if you are raising tomatoes. They come from tomato horn worms.

Since it's been confirmed I'll just agree. I see them around my butter fly bush a lot. In fact I just posted one today. I can mount my gimble head to my deck railing and my butter fly bush is only about 12' away. I use my sigma 150-600C.
