What will it be?

hawk

Is it a leather-jacket? (to be a crane fly/daddylonglegs)?

hope you get a chance to photo it Pims...

You could be right Sheila...

Think Stevie is right Sheila...one of the Hawk moths. I had a Solanum here.

I hope so SL...I will have to place some twigs very close to it, so it has a perch to open it's wings on..if they have no perch the wings develope deformed. No idea when the hatching time takes place though.

I though he was kidding, but their pupae look the same as well, I give up ;)

Never give up trying 7. It would be fun to see it hatch what-ever it is.

ok i'll add the word...'moth'...soz, bit lazy ; )

Would be amazing if you could take time elapsed pics of it emerging!

THAT'S the expression I was trying to remember - thanks Lil! Yes, wouldn't it be amazing . . .

I thought Stevie meant a hawk as in bird too. I was gonna suggest a golden eagle!!! lol

If you knew when it was going to hatch, you could take a day off :o)

Love that idea Hywel! Where are all the insect-larvae-experts when you need them, eh? Someone, somewhere must know . . .

Erm...from what I have Googled May/June seems the most likely..Now any ideas on pulling off a two month sikki ?

I have some ideas Pimp, but they involve a LOT of PAIN ;)

You're welcome Sheila :) Hate that when you can't 'find' the word you're looking for.....happens all the time!

Its a vampire bat Pimp haha.
