Do they eat Fuschias then BB ? .. actually it was heading towards one on the edge of the flower border !

Yes they LOVE them!

Hes a handsome little devil.............

I shall know where they've gone when they all start to disappear then :o(

He is isn't he Milky !

Never seen one of these before, great picture Amy.

Thanks Simbad .. it was a first for me :o)

Ooh, what a caterpiller Amy.....that is amazing, hope we get to see the Moth!

Yes Amy fuschia specialists ..may even be why the moths coloured the way they are so as to camouflage themselves .

A Lovely Shot of a Hawk Moth Caterpillair Amy :)

Thanks Holly :o)

yuck I dont like those
but Ido lik amimals.
I am 10 years old .

They wouldn't hurt you Pipsqeak !! are you really only 10 years old ??

yes I am only 10 years old

I know they wont hurt me but they look scary.

I think you are very clever for 10yrs old , you were being very helpful in trying to find out what my Fungus was called :o)

I was lucky to see one of these many moons ago, they're huge aren't they? I think if I was a predator those great big 'eyes' would scare me off too! Great photo Amy:-)

Thanks Bornagain , If I had been on my own I don't think that I could have picked it up like my hubby did , I hadn't seen one before it would have scared me ..... !!

My sister just found one of these monsters in our garden this morning and nearly died. I could not wait to get on the net to find out what this guy was. He is huge and whats more my GSD puppy nearly ate him. Do they bite? LOL!!
