Macroglossum stellatarum
Not to sure if he moth I have named as seems a lot more orange in colour than the Google image search result
UK and my back garden
I was in my kitchen making a cup of tea and happened to glance out of the window and spotted this moth flying among my Purple buddleia flowers growing at the bottom of my garden, I was lucky enough to be able to zoom in with my bridge camera and take a few shots.
