Scrub that ^ It's back. It either walked up the garden from where Jones put it yesterday or Ruby gifted it. It's sat sitting near the step grinning at me
It’s really weird looking. The reason I thought it was a cat toy is because the body looks like corduroy and the huge eyes, unless they’re markings, looked like buttons.
One would hope that it was like the ugly duckling and would blossom into a beautiful moth but, judging from this photo, I think it’s missed that boat.
It's an Elephant Hawk Moth Liv, see them here quite bit. The first one I saw in the garden was nearly 5 inches long with the nose extended! I've only seen the moth once, it's huge!
