User's notes
A neighbour sent three photos of what look like three different species of large moths, possibly hawkmoths, some of several that she finds on her deck each morning at present. I'll put each up separately. Obviously attracted by lights at night.

These are all family Hepialidae, genus Oxycanus moths. Two species are involved, both having variable wing patterns, hence the impression of three species.
