The Poplar hawk moth caterpillar is a large, chunky, vibrant green insect with a characteristic yellow tail horn and diagonal yellow stripes that have small pink spots between them. It was working it's way along a small branch, consuming leaves as it went along. In this photo it is hanging upside down from its rear "feet", with its front half free of contact.

A poplar hawk-moth, Laothoe populi. The species seems to have a good year here. Many more than usual has passed by so far.
