Default New Garage Buddy,

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..
