This little fella was found in our factory this morning. It’s a Humming-Bird Hawk Moth. They are not that uncommon in the south of England, but it is unusual to see them so early in the year. Having the Nokia N93 handy, I just had time to get this nice close up before he buzzed off!

More info on the Humming-Bird Hawk Moth can be found here, here and here.
