I agree that the pattern of tufts and verrucae suggest that this is an Anthelid, but it does not look much like any in

It would be good if you could rear it to the adult moth, but the mites may well kill it first.

I love your suggestions! If I see another one I will give it a go. I currently have some Heliocosma caterpillars that I am patiently watching do not a lot! I hope to report back on those soon!

I had a low success rate with Heliocosma caterpillars, but did get a few adults.
