Hi, I've found this females Carcelia iliaca(?) yesterday on a nest of Thaumetopoea processionea. Also, there where two caterpillars on another nest with eggs of Carcelia iliaca(?). (Ansbach, DE-Middle-Franconia, old deciduous forest, hornbeam & oak, 2020-06-30)
Can the species be confirmed?

Thanks a lot!

Eric

Yes, that is correct. That is very late in the season for this species !

Thank you very much again, Theo. I've found one on 2018-06-21 and 2019-06-21 in the same forest (but very poor pictures).

Greetings, Eric
