Hyles lineata

Observation date: September 21, 2016
Submitted by: Momokitkat
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Near flowers that we have yet to identify. Not sure if they will be moths or butterflies. They are primarily green and black but they each have one horn at the tail end of them. They are climbing all over beautiful flowers we have outside and eating them up. I would love to have somebody help me identify the species. I would love to know if they are poisonous or if they are just a simple butterfly that these flowers are supposed to attract. We recently bought this house so we are not sure of many of the species of insects and flowers around here . Thank you.
