This little critter invades my fuschias annualy, actualy its not so little either, this one was getting on for 2 1/2 inches long. His nose extends into a sort of trunk, hence the name, I couldnt get him to do it for the camera though.
The Elephant Hawk Moth.
I was so amazed at this creature it inspired me to write a poem..........
I知 ugly
I知 an elephant hawk moth grub.
People say I知 ugly which I don稚 think is true
I知 eating Billy痴 fuchsias, heheheeh.
That値l never do.
I guess my mother loved me.
But she just flew away.
She was spectacularly lovely
Or so the other bugs say
But I知 just lonely and ugly.
It痴 hard, I have to say.
I wish I looked just like my mom.
Sighhhhhh maybe one day?
