Very similar to our British Puss Moth this moth is found across Europe. The eggs are larger, flatter and coloured bright orange, camouflaged to look like a leaf gall, I was amazed to see the larvae hatch from the eggs in such a small space,with there crumpled tails. The young larvae started eating the top layer of the leaf. The full grown larvae have a distinguishing feature, a white-edged saddle marking with a central “snowdrop” which the British Puss Moth does not have, Food plant is Poplars, Sallows and Willows.
