Pink Lemonade Moth


While shopping a few weeks ago, we walked out of a store to find this moth. I never seen such a moth and immediately decided I found a new species, the Pink Lemonade Moth. 

Once we got home, we searched on the Internet and found that this moth is the Rosy Maple Moth. 


I think the Rosy Maple Moth is one of most beautiful moths I have ever seen.

And I do wonder if she was shopping and simply got tired out from not finding what she was looking for, like I do sometimes.

Before your sight,
Mounts on the breeze the butterfly,
 and soars,
Small creature as she is, from earth's bright flowers
Into the dewy clouds.
Wordsworth

    Good for you, finding such a color-coordinated and fashion-conscious moth. It's good that you renamed the species - yours is much nicer.
