It's the caterpillar of the Small Elephant Hawkmoth that gives it it's name; dull grey and looking for all the world like an elephant's trunk. Not at all like the vivid adult.

What a wonderful creature. I am afraid of the day, some ladys want to have the pelt. Great shot.

CITIZENS of our world, check my website for a riveting, informational video that concerns all of you and the future of our globe. You will be flabbergasted, annoyed, distressed, in disbelief, but you will have been made aware of the WARNINGS. See this film. It gets better as it goes along, but will have your attention from the first quote.
