Our West Berkshire Land Manager Roger captured this excellent video of an elephant hawk moth caterpillar which he found in his garden. You can see it extending its neck like an elephant's trunk in exactly the way that gives this species its name.

Watering time for the breeding tent of elephant hawk moths. There are four in here, all of which I purchased from a collector last summer as oleander pupa. A wonderful case of mistaken identity!
