I just found this guy on some carrot leaves I brought indoors a few weeks ago. I am in Devon.
Normally I would keep him in a tiny vivarium until he becomes a moth or butterfly and then release him. But I suspect if I do that it will be in the middle of winter and so not a good idea.
Need to know what species he is so I know if they winter in pupate form or as catterpillars, if or where I can put him outside.
I can't find anything that looks like him online.
Any help welcome
