They're one of those species that when you show people, they just can't quite believe that these moths cruise gardens in the local area when everyone is asleep. Plus they are massive, which amazes most people.
My youngest son really enjoys the early morning 'reveal' where we turn the egg boxes over to see what the the great god of mothing has brought us. So much so that he decided to have a go at the meme of hawkmoth on noses that people post on social media.
He may go off nature as he gets older but I suspect the memory of a bloody big moth crawling around on his face will stay with him for a long time. He thought it was awesome!
