| | | help with identifying a caterpillar please
We found a strange caterpillar in our garden it is mottled brown on top and beige underneath about 3 inches long and has a blue / green spine/horn sticking out from the end of its body. It has about 9 pairs of sucker type feet .
We would be very grateful if anyone can help with its identification
We live in the south east of England near the coast
Thanks |

Sounds like a type of hawkmoth. Any chance of a photo?
Welcome to WAB by the way.
