@sangio7 : can you rear it in captivity to an adult moth so that we can determine the species please?

Now that I know what it is I can see that that would be a good idea - clearly there is not enough information on these. Alas, though, I left it to burrow its way back into the soil and cut a few more plants off. But thanks, I'll know for next time.
