I found this on my cherry tree and wondered what kind of moth(if it's a moth) it is?

Thank you, I spent hours last night looking at loads of moths :(
Are they good or bad for the plot?
I have just read the adults feed on nector but how about the larva?

I had one of these on my plot last year, they are pretty little things
unfortunately the larvae live as parasites in solitary bees nests so killing the hosts :(/shades x
