I just found this kind of lil creature. I never find it in Indonesia. Yup, of course! This is a Maple moth, which clearly can't be found in Indonesia.. ^^




The Rosy Maple Moth (Dryocampa rubicunda) is a North American moth in the Saturniidae family. Males have a wingspan of 32–44 mm; females of 40–50 mm. They have reddish-to-pink legs and antennae, yellow bodies and hindwings, and pink forewings with a triangular yellow band across the middle. Males have bushier antennae than females. As the name implies, rosy maple moths mainly feed on Maples, particularly Red Maple, Silver Maple, and Sugar Maple. Sometimes these moths become pests on maple trees.

Well, I post it 'coz this moth related to two things I like; Maple tree, and pink color, of course! :D
