Please. Can you rear these to get an adult moth so that we can determine the species?

Perhaps Heliocosma caterpillars feed on flowers rather than leaves. I am trying to raise some on flat weed Hypochaeris radicata flowers. Photos seem to show them eating petals.

There are lots of these this year - would be interesting to know what they are doing on flowers.
