Narrow-Bordered Bee Hawk
Hemaris tityus
This day-flying hawk-moth occurs in flower-rich woodland margins, heathland, meadows, and gardens. It hovers at blooms to drink nectar with its long proboscis, visiting flowers such as honeysuckle and bugle. Its clear wings and bumblebee-like appearance make it a remarkably convincing bee mimic in flight.
