The destroyer

I found this caterpillar in the garden this morning and fortunately it was still there when I got home this evening blipless.  Doing the best I can I think it is the caterpillar of a Hawk Moth theretra latreilli.   It's done a pretty good job of demolishing a creeper but then I was only going to pull it out so it has done me a favour.

Well here it is Friday again and only 10 sleeps to the big event.  Happy weekend blippers.
