I think it may be a moth,I've never seen one like it before.

It's the larvae of an elephant hawk moth.

Don't worry it's just looking for its hookah.

I'm sorry but I just measured that and it's a hell of a lot bigger than 3 inches :ph34r:

Hey you should keep it, it might be an alien :01:

Its just sometimes they have difficulty differentiating betwen weeds and plants/flowers :lol:

[Gripper]

Not this one it eats willowherb and drinks nectar

[DanB]

if it indulges in herb then its fine by me :)

I hear that when it turns into a moth it mates and then burrows under an animal's (even human) skin to lay it's eggs :fear:
