There so abundant this year! - first time I’d seen them too, and was amazed to find one in my garden as a bonus as well

Seeing lots of very fresh ones at the moment, I’m guessing locally grown from the influx earlier in summer

How exciting! This one maybe close to pupation? I’m not sure which plant it would’ve been raised on in my garden Knapweed, Pellitory, or ribwort plantain were being thinned out of the border…

Hummingbird Hawk-moth Macroglossum stellatarum on Crabrock Point, South Devon, nectaring on Red Valerian this morning. Macroglossum (Greek root, Macro = large/long and glossum =tongue). Video shows why it got this name and how it puts this tongue to good use.
