1 Beautiful Large Tolype Moth

After 4 months this beauty finally came out of its pupation shelter in my habitat. Found the strange caterpillar on my brick wall on June 26 & brought it in. On July 1 it created its pupation shelter on a piece of brick I provided. During the wee hours of the morning October 26, it came out. I had no warning, the evening before emerging, the pupation shelter looked the same. It did expel a bit of light green liquid on the paper towel on the bottom of the habitat.
