Hi.

Do any of you know anything about caterpillars? I have seen two unusual caterpillars in two days, ones that I am sure I've never seen before.

This is the first one- CLICKY

It was HUGE, not only about three inches long but about as thick as my little finger.

EDIT- The second one. CLICKY

Thanks, John.

The first one looks like an Elephant Hawk Moth caterpillar, while the second one my dad has identified as a Vapourer Moth.

Many years ago I used to drive a caterpillar 955 and a 977, they are the only caterpillars I know about :)
