Description


Found this critter near my front door the other day. I've never seen a moth colored like this before, not sure what kind it is but I am guessing it likes pink and yellow blooms. ;) It is small, maybe 1" long. Couldn't get a good shot with my little camera but wanted to post this for you guys to see. =)

Sharky is right! I googled it with the name he gave and up pops bunches of shots of this pretty bug.

Yes that little beauty is a "Rosy Maple Moth" Dryocampa Rubicunda. In Caterpillar form it's called "Green striped Mapleworm". Great capture! :)
