Well, in the evening anyway....I met this not-so-little fella whilst I was doing a spot of post-bedtime weeding in the circle bed.
He is huge! About as long as my palm and as thick as my thumb, and a pretty fast mover I can tell you. I got the fright of my life.

Following research, it seems he was on his way between the fuchsia bushes as apparently that's what he eats.
I was a bit mean and put him back in the woodland border instead as I didn't really want to spear him accidentally with the garden fork and the light levels were dropping quite a bit.

| Trying to show how long he is! Apparently he will turn into a pretty pink moth so girly you wouldn't believe... |
