I often see this day-flying moth - Macroglossum stellatarum – enjoy the nectar of Matthiola tricuspidata.
Is it a coincidence or the high quality of the nectar the moth is aware of? I wonder.

This wild flower is commonly found on sandy beaches and seaside rocky formations all over Greece.
It can be very small with leaves and flowers close to the ground or it can reach a height of 40-50 cm. [See below.]
