Oooh, an Elephant Hawk Moth Larvae. Very prevalent this year I believe. Nice gloves (I assume they're a pair) by the way.

[gness]

They are, Zacs....they match my shed door....x

[Baldric]

Good Piccie.

That wasn't what I was calling our garden by the time I finished mowing and trimming and clipping and ... .. .

[gness]

I'm enjoying this small garden, Baldric......it's finished really.....all from scratch....but my mind is ticking over with changes.
The pile of slabs at the side of the house are crying out to be turned into something......maybe with water...x

Isn't nature amazing? Look at the symmetry of the markings on that creature!

[Baldric]

Now here's a thought,

Brilliant idea. An excellent example of thinking outside the can.

Great pic, gness. I found one of those while walking the Camel Trail a few weeks ago, it was right in the middle of the footpath so I picked it up and put into the foliage along side the footpath before it got squished.

I only looked because I thought you might have given us Ross Poldark or something.....I feel deprived now.

[tonyav]

Just for you then, ayg ;-)

[seekeerz]

I was going to ask ....did you knit him....???? :)))

[gness]

The markings are beautiful, Stuey........I could almost have knitted him, Seek......could copy him for legwarmers I suppose.....☺

Love the watering cans, Balddric......another idea for my head....x

Tony....glad you rescued him.......x

Gran.....if and when I find Ross Poldark in my garden I'm keeping him to myself!...x

[viv41]

Stunning !

[gness]

Isn't he, Viv....keep having a peep at him.....just so beautiful......x

[viv41]

I LOVE nature, help as much of it as I can in my garden.

[gness]

And me, Viv......one thing I do miss since moving here are the hedgehogs...... not one ever in this garden.....but I do now have frogs galore.....and of course birds...x

[viv41]

I've never had a hedgehog gness, but my parents have (their garden is massive compared to mine). I have birds, bees and butterflies (in summer) and wildflowers which are still blooming. Would absolutely love to have frogs ! Watching my birds cheers me up when I'm down.
