Elephant Hawkmoth Caterpillar
This caterpillar was HUGE! About 3 or 4 inches long, I mistook it for a slug to begin with as it crawled along our path, but on closer inspection was thrilled that it would make a perfect blip!
If you'd like to see an adult Hawk Moth this website has a lovely photo.
Weather was gorgeous first thing, then cloudy all day - perfect for more gardening. Tidied the edge of the lawn along the path under the washing line then pulled my ancient shredder out of the shed - it didn't want to come out. Shredded some prunings from the Cornus which I've used as mulch.
Sun came out again late afternoon and we saw some blue sky :-)
