Elephant Hawk-moth in a West Sussex garden, 17 June 2021

 

Resting on a car tyre is an Elephant Hawk-moth, Deilephila elpenor, with a damaged wing after a day of torrential rain.

https://butterfly-conservation.org/moths/elephant-hawk-moth  explains that this nocturnal moth usually rests on a foodplant, Honeysuckle and that the caterpillars eat Willowherb and Enchanters nightshade: all are common in my garden.

Willowherb clump and lots of Honeysuckle.

It is conceivable that this moth bred and grew up in my garden.  I must search for caterpillars this year.
