Yes, okay, another one of those 'what type of bug is this?' threads.
The thing is, I just found this freaky-looking, super caterpillar munching on one of our plants (I plan on following it's progress into butterflyhood) and I have no idea what it will turn into.

Anybody ever seen one of these before? and comments/critiques welcome (I've never really done bug macros before).
thanks!

No idea, on what the bug is, but I really like the 1st one. It really shows the nature of the bug, in which this is not the case in the 2nd one. Nice job!

Are those "fake" eyes really on the catepillar or did you put them on for the pic????

I like it.

Great shots Annah! Unfortunately, I came up with nothing in my brief search attempts to identify the cute little guy too. :-( I'm sure that there's someone on here who can/will do it though!

I think it might be an Elephant Hawk-Moth. I'm not quite sure, though.

Think your correct.. ;)

"The Elephant Hawk-moth comes in two colour forms: green and grey; it is the caterpillar that puzzled visitors send pictures of most frequently in the UK! Below are the two colour forms."
