The kids excitedly found this in the garden this evening. I think it is the catepillar of a elephant hawk moth. Cute, almost anime style eyes. Now safely back on a fushia 🐛🌱

Also found Todd the toad, Norman the newt, a frog (as yet unnamed) and a family of water shrews in the last couple of weeks. Amazing what dismantling a shed and playhouse uncovers.
