Yes I’d say an elephant hawk moth caterpillar too. Beautiful moth! Bright pink and green.

One of our cats delivered one of these to us, he put it under the table while we were eating dinner. I glanced quickly and thought it was the head part of the snake! Caused utter chaos, of course. Makes me shudder to think about it!
