    that's an elephant hawkmoth.

    It's caterpillars eat willowherb (a weed) and sometimes fuchsias

        I agree with Two Sheds, its an "Elephant Hawk Moth " they feed on the wing, on honeysuckle, and other tubular flower. there habitat is woodland margins, parks, open countryside, but do visit gardens (obviously cos you've got one ), they shouldn't do any damage,( lovely moth though)
