Our West Berkshire Land Manager Roger captured this excellent video of an elephant hawk moth caterpillar which he found in his garden. You can see it extending its neck like an elephant's trunk in exactly the way that gives this species its name. Roger says: "The caterpillars feed on willowherb species and also enchanter's nightshade - plants that most gardeners would consider weeds, but in our garden they are given space and the moths obviously find it as I see them every year." A few more tips

A foreign netizen shared this jaw-dropping clip of what appears to be a snake, but it’s actually a sphinx hawk moth caterpillar (Hemeroplanes triptolemus). This species uses snake-like camouflage, inflating its head and revealing eyespots to scare off predators. It can be found in the Peruvian Amazon. #malaymail #caterpillar #snakeorcaterpillar | Malay Mail

EraScope on Instagram: "Hawk Moth caterpillar. When threatened, it can rear up and expand parts of its body to resemble a snake’s head, complete with eye-like patterns. This display can startle or scare off birds or other predators who might otherwise eat the caterpillar. This mimicry increases the caterpillar’s chances of survival by tricking predators into thinking it's more dangerous than it really is. #discovery #reels #foryou #wildlife"
