Sadly disturbed while pottering about in the garden. Thankfully doesn't seem hurt - legs all there and wings intact. Have moved somewhere less likely to have dogs/humans/birds in the way (placed on the pot just for a quick photo, it's now under a bush in the corner of the garden well camo'd among leaf mulch and not directly on the ground in case of ants). Final pic shows where it's ended up.

Any advice welcome to maximise its chances of a safe flight tonight.

Wingspan about 8cm - stunning!

This is on a business park where I walk my dog. Not a huge amount of foot traffic going by but still moderately busy during the week. Any point contacting the mgmt company to alert them? Just one plant from what I can tell

Edit - thanks all. I promise not to eat it. Though am tempted to sniff and see if I notice the tell-tale mouse pee smell. My thinking around reporting it was from reading other posts about giant hogweed, though it seems this gets much much bigger.
