I'm not convinced this is Anestia (genus), There are no filamentous anrennae visible and there a two large dots in each forewing. Thorax different. I first looked in Lithosiini subfamily but I couldn't find a macvh. Looking again I think there maybe fine forward pointing upturmed palps, suggesting Gelechiodae superfamily.

I use glass jars with a piece of muslin held on with a band (rather than a lid) and it the survive to later instars I have plastic containers from the petshop. The trick is finding what they will eat and keeping up the supply.

@donhe it is in protective custody after being absolutely hammered by a storm here and hanging onto the same branch. Never reared a moth so doubt it will make it.
