Thanks Arp for your thought. I wish I had checked the flower after I saw the moth, but I had no reason to expect that it had been laying eggs. Anyway it was dark at the time I was mothing with torch. I would love to think that after all the work and planning in attracting moths they were happy enough to lay eggs in the garden.
I didn't realise wasps could be a possibility - laying eggs like that. It is so different than the Cynips quercusfolii wasps (Cynipidae family)which lay their eggs on oak leaves which become galls. (Which happens to be te only thing about wasps)
