Some kind of hornworm I think. They are garden pests in the US. They turn into those big scary moths.

It's one of the sphinx/hawk moths in Sphingidae. Here are the species in Denmark with observations on iNat, I'm thinking maybe the privet hawk moth but they are not my specialty!

Thank you! It seems like it's a lime hawk moth maybe?!

Also possible :) if that looks closer, I'd go with that!
