I hope you can rear it to get an adult moth.

Ha. I already have (a different) one that I am trying to rear. It has been eating for two months now! If I successfully get one moth I might try again. I usually walk around the Botanic Gardens with my camera, not jars for collecting insects :)

You should always carry a jar. Caterpillars are much easier to catch than moths.
