Hello Jim ,
I think your moth is The Shark , cucullia Umbratica ,if not the closely related Chamomile Shark .C. Chamomillae .
As for the larvae ,the dark one is quite distinctive ,and i,m sure someone on here will recognise it ................... the other Green job ,i would say was
a lot more difficult as there are so many very similar larvae.
