Kayleigh. I never thought of the sawfly possibility. It was very small too.
Chris. I just did a search for that species and it really does look like it's the one. UKMoths - Winter Moth Operophtera brumata
Thanks both! |

I only thought that because I get them eating my plants and if they get disturbed they dangle on a long thread and wriggle fast away.
They usually eat my chillies in the greenhouse. |
