Very interesting. I've seen this intricated nest in our nature reserve here and have wondered what it is. Thanks for sharing.

belongs in the genus Cyana. (Arctiidae, Lithosiinae)

Would have to await the adult moth's emergence before I could place to species - and even then there is a fair degree of confusion as there are many similar species in the genus.

cheers,

Roger.
