Looks like Nemoraea pellucida to me Smile

Is the host record confirmed?

To me, it also looked like Nemoraea pellucida, but when I compared the photos I have of this species it looked somewhat different. Moreover, this specimen looks smaller than other N. pellucida I usually see.

I'm not a specialist, but I have seen a lot of P. fuliginosa and this matches it perfectly.

10 mm. is too short for Nemoraea.
Are we sure about this ?

Any chance of getting a sight on the wing ?

this is Nemoraea pellucida alright.
Its main hosts are in Noctuidae and Arctiidae, so that fits nicely as well.
