Large Tolype Moth
Tolype velleda

Observation date: July 13, 2016
Submitted by: wiscountrydreams
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: My 4-year-old grandson found this caterpillar on a concrete block in our yard under some wild Plum trees. I have no idea what plant it may have been on as the blocks have some long grass and weeds around the pile. I'm sending two photos...one of the dorsal side and one of the ventral, of the same caterpillar.
