It is not what you think it is...
Is there anybody who can tell me what butterfly will appear from this 4,5 cm. long cocoon?

Hi Bart, I do not think it is Sphinx ligustri. Look at the photos on this page. You'll see the thickened bit at the head end of the pupae which yours hasn't got.http://www.lepiforum.de/cgi-bin/lepiwiki.pl?Sphinx_Ligustri
I think it most resembles this one:

Unfortunately I am no expert in breeding Sphingidae, but you could always compress your photo to 100KB and ask for identification here:

Thanks Renate -but what do you think about the Sphinx ligustri (Privet Hawk-moth )? I did some research myself. Your opinion please!Kind regards,
Bart.

This pupae belongs to the Sphingidae (Schwärmer).Most probably it will hatch Lathoe populi or Mimas tiliae.
Where did you find it, and what trees etc grow nearby?
