Elephant TT323

Uncovered this little darling while I was gardening so I left the habitat alone...the only comparable caterpillar I could find in my book was the Elephant Hawk Moth? 

Haven't been lucky enough to see one in my garden but there were definitely more species of butterfly fluttering around today I'm happy to say. 

Red Admirals;
Peacocks;
Small Tortoiseshell;
Painted Lady, 
Cabbage Whites;
and this week's newcomer was a small Skipper which I've normally only seen on walks :)
