I have a new buddy to keep me company in the garage.

Jeff ( named after the earthworm Alien from Men in black) is an Elephant hawk Moth Caterpillar. Stupid Cat was paying him interest today and i rescued him, Not a Clucking Flue what he actually was (apart from a long fat caterpillar) but a bit of internet digging shos him as THE EHM..

So he is now safe in a HABITAT in the garage..

I share the shop with half a dozen mice, the farm cat who likes sleeping on my seats , a few realy big spiders , the running ducks that wonder in and out and pepper pig has been known to poke her head through the door as well.
