What is this?? Help before I move out (pic included)

It looks like poo but it moves (faster than a slug) can't see legs but maybe a millepede???

Caterpillar?

It's a caterpillar

Elephant hawk moth?

It’s a hawk moth caterpillar - freaked me out the first time I saw one but they are really quite fascinating. The markings on top look a bit like eyes. They love fuschias - unfortunately for me

Elephant hawk moth caterpillar, if I'm not mistaken. Good find

Thanks everyone- he freaked me out a bit as he was headed indoors and his 'eyes' looked scary

Wow...I am so jealous. Definitely elephant hawkmoth caterpillar. If you have any fuchsia in your garden or valerian please move it onto there

I have never seen a caterpillar so large! How fascinating- I'll shut the door and hope he finds his way

That’s an amazing find, elephant hawk moth caterpillar.

I don't think I could as I'm a scaredy-cat but I'll get dh to move him when he's home, we have a fushia

Ah wow I found one the other day. They are gorgeous 😍

I've just googled (now I'm not googling 'terrifying slug like thing with eyes') and they are indeed beautiful- what a gorgeous moth he is going to turn into
