The broad-bordered bee hawk-moth is a large, day-flying moth of open woodlands and clearings. It is a relatively scarce species, with a restricted distribution, but has strongholds in East Anglia and Lincolnshire. The adult is on the wing from May to July, and feeds while flying on flowers like wild honeysuckle and snowberry. So-named for its resemblance to a bumblebee, it is far more agile and much larger. The caterpillars, which feed on honeysuckle, appear from June to August and overwinter as pupae below the ground.
