Yes there is apparently a lot of variation in the species from dark to very white specimens.

I suggest it is a foreshortened (low angle from below in the first image) female Ectropis excursaria although the definitive markings at the outer edges of the hindwing (an upturned 'mainline' marking) are not quite visible due to the overlap of the forewing.

Given the lack of dark 'shoulder' markings I agree it is likely to be E. ochracea rather than E. ocranthes.

It will pupate soon and stop eating the plant. The moth is rather lovely.

Sorry for not logging in sooner. A beautiful example of the phaneroplasmodium (the fanning out growth) one will often see in nature. Physarum species are usually the most most obvious at this stage of growth but its impossible to identify positively without microscopy. As Heino has suggested the white-shelled fruiting bodies, with the dark spores inside are suggestive of several species of Physarum such as P. luteolum, P. cinereum or P. bitecum. This is a great find and would be a great herbarium specimen.
