J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Its a Lackey moth, they make a tent and feed all around it before moving to another. I have bred these a few times. very nice caterpillar, but the moth isn't anything too spesh to look at. They feed mainly on hawthorn and blackthorn, but i have also used plum to rear them....nice find. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
