This Colorful Moth Might Just Be The World's Most Beautiful Insect. Prepare To Fall In Love!

People typically think of moths as pests and try to keep them from coming into their homes. Those people clearly have never met Dryocampa rubicunda, also called the rosy maple moth.



The color of this insect is brilliant. The name of this insect is from the diet from the early days of their life, as they only feed on maple leaves. However, on hitting adulthood, they stop eating altogether. They are highly solitary, as they end up flying solo most of their lives. They are generally active only for a few hours in the evening.
