Found this creature crossing the road so helped it on its way. It was quite large and became very aggressive when I was helping it off the road.

It's a caterpillar of the bedstraw hawkmoth, Hyles gallii. These caterpillars show a tremendous variation in colour patterns.

Oh thank you so much. I couldn’t get over how big it was. What a stunning moth it becomes.
