Caterpillar of an Elephant hawk-moth (Deilephila elpenor)

Caterpillar of an Elephant hawk-moth (Deilephila elpenor) on a branch, about 75 mm long showing the snout that resembles an elephant's trunk. If threatened it will draw its snout into its first body segment and then looks like a snake with a large head and four eye patches, a deterrent to birds. Brittany, France
