A friend of mine found a rather odd looking creature at the bottom of his garden.
Does anyone know or has any ideas as to what this thing is?



Thank you for your time  []

I don't know what sort of grub it is but you need to get something on that lawn - it's nearly all clover. []

I looks a bit like a privet hawkmoth caterpillar, but there are differences.

Looks like a beetle larva to me- not sure though....

Thanks Doc and opus []

On second thoughts it does look  more like a caterpillar than a beetle larva, and it seems to have a spike on its rear like your pic of the hawkmoth caterpillar. It could be an elephant hawkmoth caterpillar.......?
