Not too sure about the moth I think it more resembles a Silver Y

as for the larva I reckon it looks like one of the Burnets. Possibly six spot burnet

Hope that helps and that someone else may give you a more certain response

Agree with both your IDs. I had a Silver-Y today, my first for a while , possibly a fresh migrant.
