Hummingbird Moths

Hummingbird Moths
With all this rain daily, we have took to watching the hummingbirds and butterflies. Our butterfly bushes and flower lovers love the rain.
I have a few hummingbird moths. I looked them up and some are tobacco hornworms and some are tomato hornworms, in the worm stage. Will these moths multiply and cause a problem for my garden in the spring? Should I do something to prevent problems later? Internet says they live in Colorado, we're a long way from there!
Here is a couple pics. I do not know what kind of worm these make into. Jo

Re: Hummingbird Moths
They are also called clear-winged hawk moths - not the same thing as hornworm.
"The clearwing sphinx larvae feed on the leaves of honeysuckle, hawthorne, dogbane, snowberry, viburnum, cherry and plum. They're not considered a pest."

Re: Hummingbird Moths
I found a few articles, but none match the pics/moths I have. I will check my Moon flowers tomm. to see if they are hosting them. Jo

This one talks about moon plant, and I have 2 that are very pretty and bloom at night.

This mentions that tobacco hornworm is a Carolina Sphinx moth.
