[quote user="nomoss"]After a bit of research, I have decided it is a hornworm, the larval stage of a hawk or sphinx moth, Sphingidae. According to Wiki there are some 1450 species. Colour of larvae is very variable, but many pictures I have found are very similar in size and colour. It could be a hummingbird hawk moth larva, as there are lots of these in our garden, even now, when it is getting colder and wetter, but the colour doesn't quite match illustrations I have found.

You may have hit upon its name a Leatherjacket/Cranefly [quote user="nomoss"] Looking at images online it wasn't a cockchafer or stag beetle larva. The skin was leathery looking with no hairs, the head not prominent, there was a suggestion of a spike on the tail end, and it was very mobile. The skin reminded me of a "leatherjacket", but much bigger and active than one of those. It was travelling steadily across the concrete and ignored shallow puddles, simply continuing across them in a straight line. When I touched it it curled up in a half hearted way and continued in the same direction shortly afterwards. Maybe it was moving from below ground after been flooded out by the previous heavy rain.

My advice if you have sufficient funds to buy a house in France is to purchase a decent mobile home France is two big to explore from one place Having lived here 15 years I am now considering my 3 move Remember the grass has to be cut bills payed and winter maintenance, which is a nightmare if you are not here
