Not rare but they are often missed despite their size and they are sometimes common, like humming-bird hawkmoths can be, when they are blown over from the continent. (Both are extremely beautiful and the hummer is an insect with the perfect name). Usual food plant is willowherb and a few other weeds but also commonly found on fuchsias.
The tomato [Solanum lycopersicum] is the favorite garden plant of the hawkmoth [Sphingidae family]. The hawkmoth has a long tube called a proboscis, to suck nectar from flowers. But it also likes to insert the tube into tomatoes, for their delicious juices. Little black spots on a tomato's surface may represent the former feeding locations of hawkmoths.

'Butter-and-eggs' is a common name for 'Linaria vulgaria'. Other common names are 'common toadflax' and 'yellow toadflax'. But regardless of the scientific or common name by which it's known, the wildflower's pollen and nectar are important to pollinating bumblebees [Bombus spp] and hawkmoths [Sphingidae family]. Its leaves are important food sources to the caterpillar stages of the bog fritillary [Boloria eunomia] and the Gorgone checkerspot [Chlosyne gorgone]
