Broad-bordered bee hawk-moth (Hemaris fuciformis)

This was a first timer for my garden. I hope to see more of them in the future. I've seen Hummingbird hawk-moths before, which look somewhat similar, but not yet this one. I love the vivid green and burgundy colour combination and they're just soooo fluffy. They need to be made into a plushie asap. I do like their Dutch name a lot better though. Here they're called glasvleugelpijlstaart, which roughly translates into glass-winged arrowtail
