I had an elephant hawk moth caterpillar on the grass in the back garden (not posh enough to be a lawn) a few years ago. Had to look it up. Apparently they hibernate underground or something. Must check again. It was enormous and had fearsome-looking eye spots. Take care of it and send us a pic when it emerges. X
It emerged! I’ve popped a picture at the bottom. It’s a bit early but it’s still alive. Its in our pansy flowerbed so hopefully there’s enough nectar for it 🤞
