The wife spotted 'this' undulating down the side path before disappearing into the front flower bed. Mmm I;ll bet she doesn't go weeding in there again!

  'This' is  large 80 mm caterpillar, photoed, printed & copied to library But NO Pbucket!. Copy & Paste? NO, size limit of 51.2kb applies. Photo reduced by 25% but still too big!

                                                                            Now what?

I didn't get down low enough to see any legs but as it wriggled along the skin pattern looked like small armor plates slotting back & forth, that barb on the back end would be a bit intimidating to a predator. A large moth is probably the best bet but is there a 'rest of the brood' somewhere?
