Large Tolype Moth
Tolype velleda

Observation date: August 25, 2015
Submitted by: boreal-forest
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: above doorway on stucco. carefully transferred moth to black cardstock for clearer picture. felt horrible for doing it after. i will never intervene in a beautiful moth's life again in that way. It was not hurt- but i think i scared it a bit. GUILT! nice cool evening in late august. after a long weekend of heavy rain.
