The narrow-bordered bee hawk-moth is an infrequent visitor to my garden in Stratherrrick in Inverness-shire, but neighbours have seen them too, so there must be at least one colony locally.
It is a UK Biodiversity Action Species (BAP). The following is lifted from the Action Plan "Formerly widespread in the UK, the narrow-bordered bee hawk-moth has declined severely and now appears to have retreated to western Britain... this species is classified as Nationally Scarce."
