Cucullia verbasci
Found in my sister's garden on the leaves of a Lamb's Ear plant.
To raise or not to raise?!
Thanks so much, Daniele! She was able to ID it...and when she learned about it's long pupa stage, decided it was best to return it to the garden. :-)
Hi Bernadette! Food plants for this caterpillar include:
Buddleja – Buddleia, "butterfly bush"
Himantoglossum hircinum – Lizard Orchid
Scrophularia – figworts
Verbascum – mulleins
I hope it's not too late!
