Hi
this was found on the 20 aug on a fleece in my garden, I think it is some kind of hawk moth. Does anyone know what it is?
Many thanks
Mandy

Yes - Elephant Hawk-moth (Deilephila elpenor)

Thanks for the id - I have just realised I should have looked at recent posts

as there is a good picture already
Do they over winter at this stage or should I be looking out for him to pupate

He'll pupate in the earth and overwinter as a pupa. He was probably feeding on your fuschias

Cheers,
