Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth

A big surprise to find Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth on the patch this morning 6th June. It's never been recorded before. The larval foodplant is Devil's-bit Scabious and Field Scabious but I've only found Small Scabious. It was nectaring on Red Valerian and was quite approachable to around 5 feet.
