User's notes
Found crossing a footpath. Case appears to be made of grass and herbs. Eats grass and leaves of a desert pea. Not interested in wood sorrel, clover or two seed vetch. Kept it in a jar until 16/12. By this time it was walking around restlessly for at least the past two weeks, hardly eating. Noticed a colour change - looked like bleached. Put it back where I found it as we're going away soon => no pictures of the adult moth for this one.
