These are Privet hawk-moths, Sphinx ligustri. The largest UK hawk moth, with a wingspan up to 120mm. Common, very docile, easily handled, and great for showing to kids.

I'm a keen lepidopterist, observing. recording, & releasing moths in my small urban back garden.

I always follow back, & am grateful for a boost.
