The size they give for the male is far bigger than mine, I have measured it this morning and it is 15mm tip to toe including everything. Hants moths gives the size as less, from 18-24mm which is close unless that doesn't include the bag at the bottom.

Hants Moths - 0191 Acanthopsyche atra

I think I should send this to the county recorder to see what he thinks, I haven't come across any mention that Psyche casta does the bag thing.
