Never seen one like that before, looks tastey though.

Re: Small Elephant Hawk Moth



Whilst I was walking down an old railway track last August I spotted this on some Rosebay Willow Herb. It was huge - about 100mm long and just about the ugliest caterpillar I have ever seen. I thought it was an Elephant Hawk Moth Caterpillar.
