Death's Head Hawk Moth Caterpillar


Surely the craziest looking creature we've seen on one of our trips. This Death's Head Hawk Moth Caterpillar at Rainham Marshes was stunning. We also saw a Spotted Fly Catcher. A lifer for me. Whoopee!

Fantastic Beast, I've never seen one or an adult, so I'm gripped. By the way, your frog noise (in Essex in June) might have been a Nightingale alarm call, they sound very frog like.

Thanks for the Nightingale tip off.
I'll listen for that next summer.
Cheers
