What can I tell you, August, except that your link is either ignorant or that in the USA these day-flying moths are all known (carelessly, I'd suggest) as Humming-bird Hawk-moths. But as far as I am aware, animal taxonomy is international, which would make your link plain wrong! Anyway, in Britain the Humming-bird Hawk-moth does not have clear wings... these belong to the Narrow-bordered and Broad-bordered Bee Hawk-moths... please look at these reliable links:

Maybe you got hold of some fake news, mate.
