Which insect is that? Probably a Alsophila aescularia.

In the Lepiforum the data for the determination are well described, therefore it is probably the moth alsophila aescularia.

  • The wings are missing completely
  • Big shrub hair on the belly
  • Sitting posture resembling a seal seen from the side.
  • Alsophila are found in late winter and early spring

The eggs are lined up next to each other and around the eggs hang dark hair, which are applied by the female to the eggs.
