Can you take it into protective custody and rear it to get an adult moth for identification?

@donhe I have taken it into protective custody and today it finally became a pupa.

Super. Keep watching it, maybe 2 weeks, maybe 6 months: I know: worse than watching paint dry. When a moth emerges pop it into the fridge to put it to sleep to take its portrait, then after the photo-shoot, let it go where you found it.

Ok: sighting 4428761 the adult moth, sadly hindwings partly obscured so can only identify the genus: Ectropis.
