About 3 weeks ago I bought a packet of capsicums from a local supermarket.
When I opened the packet I found a moth pupa inside a white spun web. I
popped the pupa into my hatching tank (as one does) and today this
specimen of Golden Twin-spot hatched. This is a southern European species
and has never been recorded in Ireland before. Chrysodeixis chalcites.
