I'm not too sure yet Martin. It appeared overnight and when I tried to find it the next day it was gone. It's possible someone just knocked it off though. It was a fairly busy traffic area.
There appears to be a pupal exuvia at the anterior end. I suspect this was a male, but he's gone. I had one contained once, and captured the moth. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/830...
