This is actually a "Hummingbird Moth" They are also attracted to a lot of red colored flowers as well as bright colors like this. Hummingbird Moths - White-lined Sphinx Hummingbird Moths Sphingidae: Hyles lineata

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
