This handsome moth I found 2 days ago in daytime in a park on low vegetation under an old pine tree. It was very docille and showed no fear. I could pick it up and it would stay wherever I put it .Grateful model!

That is the Angleshades Moth - Phlogophora meticulosa: [HYPERLINK@ukmoths.org.uk]

We have a page for it in BugFiles to which you have already added pictures of the caterpillar,
