Today I noticed it had stop feeding on Apple in my container, I then checked back in a few hours and noticed it spinning a silk cocoon around itself.
I'm now waiting in anticipation to whether its a Male or a flightless Female??
Also whilst playing Table Tennis today I noticed another Caterpillar on our Raspberry plant, i'm not sure which species it belongs to though??
