The Large Tolype (Tolype velleda) is a very attractive North American Lappet species, which is still fairly common from Nova Scotia in Canada, throughout the eastern United States, south to central Florida and west to Minnesota, Nebraska and Texas. Despite the English name, it's not a large species. The wingspan is between 3,2 centimeter and 5,8 centimeter. The males are significantly smaller then the females. They have only one flight per year, mainly somewhere between September and October, depending on local conditions. The eggs overwinter (in the fridge).
