Narrow-bordered bee hawk-moth  (Hemaris tityus)

Adults of the Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth are extremely similar in appearance to bumblebees (4), and gain a level of protection from this mimicry. The wings are transparent with a thin brown border, and the body is furry and banded. The caterpillars may reach up to 3.5 cm in length, and have pale green bodies with purple or brownish-red blotches and a reddish horn towards the rear (3).
