Hi Martin, it's a Geranium Bronze Cacyreus marshalli, an accidentally introduced species from South Africa, probably on cultivared Pelargoniums

I bumped into one of these a few years ago, in Cannes, feeding on the same flower as a Lang's Short-tailed Blue which made me scratch my head for a while until I realised they were two different species rather than the male and female of one species!
