I googled it and found out, that I have this moth here in my country, as well! I also didn't know that! :) Now I just have to find it :)) and about that blue horn - this is characteristic to hawk-moths (well, not exactly blue, but a horn at the rear end) :)

Thank you! I like blue horn :) it's pretty big and fat caterpillar, I didn't know that we have in Bosnia this moth!

wow, looks so weird (out of this planet, or at least out of underground)! Wonderful spotting! :)
