What Are These ?

Hi
Could some body identify the following for me please
Both from the garden over the weekend
The first is a moth larva feeding on Nettle and remarkably well camouflaged. Its resting pose in the first picture made it look similar to the flowers, in shape and colour. In the second image it is feeding on the flowers. The next one is a large Hover Fly that appeared in the garden yesterday. It was as large as one of the Volucella species but I am struggling to put a name to this one. Can anyone help please. The second image is not as crisp as I would like but it only settled in this pose very briefly before disappearing over the fence
