hi
I found this today along the banks of the crinan canal, my friend wanted to keep it,to allow her children to see it develop into a coccon, then moth, but i think it might be a fox moth, possibly, and if it is, then the book says it overwinters as a larvae, so possibly better to put it back out again, can anyone advise,
