Quite smart though

You'e either got tiny hands or that's one **** off big caterpillar! Where did you find it?

I know its not a baby robin

Ornithology FAIL.

Found this one a couple of years back, someone did tell me what it was but i can't remember now.

caterpillars are quite amazing really. I like the fuzzy ones.

Elephant hawkmoth?

stuckinarut – looks like it

Probably Elephant Hawk Moth. Beautiful moth when it hatches. Used to find Privet Hawk Moths when I was at school, keep them in a tank until they pupated and hatched, then release the adults. Pity that's not a Death's Head caterpillar, they are huge!

Yes, elephant hawkmoth – found one years ago on some rosebay willowherb when I was a child and watched it turn into a chrysalis then a moth.

Wow! Look at that colouring and fake big eye bird deterent!

I'm loving it.

Yep! Elly moth – we get em living in the soil around the fuchia bush. Lovely things.

Let's hope it doesn't turn into this
