I have got this one in a jar hoping to hatch a moth :-) He has already burried in the sand at the bottom of the jar. It hatched on the 19th of January and it was Circopetes obtusata - see added photos.

Ah-ha. That will be the moment of truth. Hope you have a diagonal stick in there for him to climb on when he emerges, to expand his wings?
