Can anyone put a name to this, please. Found on a godetia plant, perfectly camouflaged. it's about 1 1/4 inches long, has two sets of "eyes" at the front end and a horn at the tail.
Regards,
Brian.

Pretty sure it's an Elephant Hawkmoth - see Ukleps.org

Lovely to see such a pristine 'green' one, most are very 'elephantine' in colour.
