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

Elephant hawkmoth?

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 [i]huge![/i]

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.
