Dryocampa rubicunda
43.9126, -70.585
Field Notes
Description:
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.
Habitat:
Sitting on the outside of the cabin below the porch light.
The cabin was surrounded by lots of maple, oak, and pine trees.
Notes:
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!
