There was one of these in our garden yesterday evening. According to the interweb its a Hummingbird Hawk moth.
Never seen one before. Is it unusual to get them in the North, well next to Loch Lomond?

Hummingbird Hawkmoth it's not unusual to get northern records if there's been southerly winds.
Well spotted, I haven't seen one of those for years. Wonderful little insects.
