"Deilephila elpenor, the elephant hawk moth or large elephant hawk moth, is a moth in the family Sphingidae. Its common name is derived from the caterpillar's resemblance to an elephant's trunk. It is most common in central Europe and is distributed throughout the Palearctic region. It has also been introduced in British Columbia, Canada."

Nit so common. Never seen one till now. Nor my grand parrents. Seems to be quite rare. We have flowers and people don't usually put fliwers here so we may get more atention.
