Moth Cocoon query

[Colin Jacobs]

Today in my Local Wood In Suffolk UK I found the umbels in seed form of
Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) gathered
up into a cocoon type structure. On opening it up I found a small
caterpillar off white in colour with small black dots on each segment.

I think it is the Garden Dart moth (Euxoa nigricans) or   Agonopterix
heracliana

but would appreciate any ideas from you please
