Speckled lactura Moth, Lactura subfervens

They are starting to diminish in numbers now from the first observation. I see them in a flimsy web here and there in the plant, not sure if these are cocoons as I know nothing about their reproduction. I have not seen a single adult on or around any of the 15 or so plants. Must try to catch an adult, perhaps at night. The Speckled lactura is a food source for predatory stink bugs and other predators. I need to compile the observations I have of the several observed predators.
