Was startled by the size and speed of this caterpillar, which turned out to be an Elephant Hawkmoth. I forgot to add something for scale, but I'd say it was at least 8–9 cm long

The beautiful adult is pictured here in a lovely book I copy-edited years ago, Heather Greer's "On Your Doorstep: Moths and Butterflies of Connemara"

John Flamsteed was born #OTD in 1646.

His main achievements were the preparation of a 3,000-star catalogue, Catalogus Britannicus, and a star atlas called Atlas Coelestis, both published posthumously. He also made the first recorded observations of Uranus, although he mistakenly catalogued it as a star, and he laid the foundation stone for the Royal Greenwich Observatory. via @wikipedia
