Default Hummingbird Hawk Moth

This really is extraordinary. In the biggest greenhouse this morning, a
customer suddenly said "WHAT'S THAT????" and there, buzzing about a stand of
primulas, was a hummingbird hawk moth! Normally, we see these in the garden
in hot summers in August and September, often on Salvia involucrata. But in
March......?!
