Hummingbird Hawkmoth caterpillar - purple-brown so about to pupate. Discovered on the bank below the raised beach huts. One great northern diver and a distant skua sp the only birds of note.
Hi Andrew - very true! I was quite pleased to find it. I don't recall ever seeing the larvae before. I'm really after death's head hawk so if you ever trap one or hear of one please let me know!
Nice one. Certainly a lot easier to photograph than the imago!
