I agree it may be P. pusilla, but there are other Lasiocampidae species for which we do not have photos of the larvae, and yours may actually be one of those. So please can you rear it in captivity to get an adult moth, and add its photo to this sighting, then we will have a good chance of identifying the species ?

Ok, glad I took it home :)
