A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Dryocampa rubicunda
Pink and yellow coloring; fuzzy yellow abdomen, pink legs, pink antennae, and pale yellow wings with faint pink details. The wings were slightly tattered along the edges. Very small! About an inch long; about half an inch wide with its wings closed.
Sitting on the outside of the cabin below the porch light. The cabin was surrounded by lots of maple, oak, and pine trees.
Rosy maple moths are nocturnal, but I actually found this one during the day in a sleeping/dormant state. This is my favorite moth so I was super excited to find one!
