who is this?
this chap had a black and white spotted round bum
he had orange wings which were beating really fast and he hovered - like a humming bird
a long thin black tongue or whatever was poking into the flowers
Sorry - these photos are dreadful, but they might give you an idea
im going to try and delete the ones where you cant see him at all - wish me luck!
In London. Keen but lazy.

Could be Elephant Hawk Moth.
Or maybe hummingbird hawk-moth
I thought they were hummingbirds when I saw them in Spain as a kid
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
I think Hummingbird Hawk-moth. They should get better at posing for the camera
Thanks all. saw one the same - slightly better photo in garden gallery.
googled him. They like valerian apparently. I have an abundance
That's what I meant??
