A little fat glutton

This is the caterpillar of a privet hawk moth. It ate half of the leaf and nervously searched for the next leaf. Or maybe she was already full, because after a while she moved onto the stalk and landed on the ground. After burrowing into the ground, it will begin the pupation process.
