These images are of the caterpillars and a freshly emerged adult male. For some reason I do not have photographs of the other stages, but I will take photos as they happen and post them on this blog.

Freshly emerged adult male - still enlarging its wings
Update: While going through some unsorted material in my collection I found a couple of cocoons and pupae. These were both spun around some loose sheets of newspaper placed in the cage - which is easier to handle and prevent from moulding than cut foodplants. After one of the moths hatched I cut open the cocoon so the pupa could be viewed.
