Day 23: Eyed Hawk-moth caterpillar

This first post not from the cemetery - It's only 300m away (and I'm off to Devon for the weekend) but this guy was too unusual to pass by.   He was on the pavement outside my house.

Having found out what it is - he was probably looking for a place to bury and pupate - so feel slightly guilty at putting back in rose-hip bush.  He wouldn't have lasted long on the pavement though :)

I wonder if we'll see the adults in the moth trap soon?
