Impressionnante !!!

Always fascinating, the hawk moths and their caterpillars.

I've never seen the moth, I've only seen one Humming Bird Hawk Moth they don't often come this far North

I saw these caterpillars a few times in Cornwall (they seemed to be very fond of my mum's fuchsias!) but never the moth itself. Other hawkmoths visited my London garden occasionally or were attracted to pub terrace lights and so on.

Nicely captured Peter.
Have a safe week ahead.

curieux, curieux...

WOWWWW an impressive caterpillar !! Would love to see the butterfly later on, Peter ! Nice weather to start the week here !! Slightly cloudy but some sun too and a nice temperature ! Hope this is the same in Groby !!! Have a nice week !

good that you saw this one, Peter,
enjoy a nice week there

fake eyes, but big ones, and beautiful ;-)

Besides the big eyes, it looks like an elephant trunk Peter!
Well spotted and captured. Hope you have a nice week.

I have seen a few of them but not the moth looking on the internet it's pinky colour
