Thanks for the comments. I can't believe these delicate looking creatures are surviving the foul weather we are suffering this summer!

Well done.
I've (unsuccessfully) tried taking photos of Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk moth so I know how hard it is.

I have to agree with the others the 2nd shot is a cracker, very well caught
