''Hemaris tityus'', the narrow-bordered bee hawk-moth has a wide range, from Ireland across temperate Europe to the Ural Mountains, western Siberia, Novosibirsk and the Altai. It is also known from the Tian Shan eastwards across Mongolia to north-eastern China and southwards to Tibet. There is a separate population found from Turkey to northern Iran. It appears in May and June and is a lively day-flier (unlike most other sphingids), generally active from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. 'Hemaris' comes from the Greek Hemera, which means 'the day'.〔() Fact sheet from butterfly conservation〕 It frequents marshy woodland and damp moorland, and has a wide distribution across temperate Europe and Western Asia, but is generally quite scarce. The larvae feed on devil's-bit scabious (''Succisa pratensis'') and field scabious (''Knautia arvensis'').
