Pupa. @Hejor1 : is the case empty? If not: can you snip the twig and put it and it's pupa into a bottle with a fabric top held by an elastic band, and put the bottle on say the kitchen windowsill or some such and look at it every day to see if a moth emerged the previous night, and if/when it does emerge: take its portrait and add it to this sighting please ?
