Poor Yelle!!
Bless her, she’s just been bathed with treatment for ringworm.
i fully expected to bescragged daft but to be fair with age ( now nearly 12 years) she is mellowing and dealing with her single handedly was doable.
another three treatments over the next fortnight...... she may not be so easy going next time!!

Elephant Hawk Moth caterpillar?Anyone know what this is? It is about 7cm long, 1cm thick, and was crawling very slowly over a cobbled part of my garden a couple of days ago. Creepy yet fascinating.

Actually I didn’t recognise it . It seemed clearly to be a caterpillar so I did a google search on caterpillars and scrolled through the images. (A google image search for similars pulled up lots of leopard slugs! I sort of see why, but disappointing )Thanks Richard @sphexx , spot on, we had no idea.
I'm rather pleased at how the iPhone camera captured this creature. Especially in live-view where it is moving a bit (on the phone)!
Here's a couple of mine taken on last week's holiday to Pembrokeshire.
no 1 is the one for me
cheers
